All right you knuckers, here are some statistics for you SINGLE people out there:

100% of you are failures.

Yep, that includes you, you, you, and especially you, self-included.

You've failed in 100% of your relationships, every single ever-loving last one. Maybe you're a widow/er, and I'm not sure how to categorize you (some help here?), but if you both lived, and parted before death, well, you failed, sorry to break it to you.

You screwed up 100% of the time.

You were the wrong person 100% of the time.

You found the wrong person 100% of the time.

100% of your dates has eventually failed to yield lifelong results.

Me, I've been a failure for over 20 years.

And yet, for some reason I CANNOT explain, I still think, "All right, this time it's gonna work, this time it ~has~ to work, she's perfect, and we're gonna... ah, cr.p. Didn't work. Dangit. Okay, really, this time it'll... ah, cr.p Next time, the 4,235th time is a CHARM! It'll work, it has to work..."

Gads.

I'm not usually one to reply with quotes, but I used this one in class the other day and thought it applied here:

I almost never get 100% in anything. I'm stoked to tell you the truth.

Statistics can be viewed many different ways.
--Since my divorce, I have a 100% success rate at not foolishly marrying any of my dates.
--I've been married and divorced once. I also can proudly say that 100% of my unhappy marriages ended in a successful divorce.

Does this mean that I shouldn't buy a lottery ticket any time soon?

I subscribe to Einstein's outlook. He had walls of journals describing all that he tried that didn't work. He did not consider himself a failure. He looked at it all as proven theories that would not work.

Keeping a positive outlook allows you to believe one day it will work.

Or, you could always say **** it and enjoy life anyway...

My 2 serious relationships were 100% failure; meaning they ended.
They were both 100% real, the good the bad and the ugly.
I am 100% a better, stronger person after going through them.

Failure? I think not.

100% of my marriages (all 1 of them) have led to the birth of terrific children, whom I raised from early childhood to adulthood and with whom I have special, successful, loving relationships to this day.
