AUTOPECH

“Als jij geen pech had gehad, had ik geen werk.”

“Alles is verbonden!” reageerde ik sarcastisch.

“Tuurlijk,” grinnikte hij. “Anders is het allemaal voor niets.”

BE GRATEFUL, FOR YOU CAN FART

You woke up today. Congrats. Because today was not promised. You know what else wasn’t promised? Your capacity of farting. Yes, chances are that today you’re going to let out a couple of farts. Maybe you’ve already allowed a couple of ‘em bad boys to slip past your cheeks this morning (I mean, hey, I can respect that, you cheeky little skunk, you). In all seriousness: I’m here to remind you that your capacity of farting is a miracle in and of itself. For when you fart, gas moves from your intestines into your rectum and is then blown into the atmosphere through your butthole (yes, allow that to sink in). Sometimes, we do this consciously. Sometimes, we do this unconsciously. That’s right; sometimes you’re performing miracles WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING.  Point being: if someone ever tells you you’re not good enough, then stand up, point your chin up to the sky and say: I fart, motherfucker.  I fart.
