I’m working at the movie theatre tonight, and _Transformers_ just opened. Here’s hoping we’re lucky enough not to get swamped…

I’ve been here an hour. My Boss is away. Normally Saturdays are pretty quiet.

So far I’ve dealt with seven separate things.

If it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.

I’m going to take pity on the person who reads this then-locked thread years from now and wonders why it was bumped.

**ArchiveGuy** used his 7,777th post on the bump. Very clever. 🙂

Before this gets locked up, [here’s your screen shot](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2187/1812315833_78730a9179_o.jpg). There’s your proof that you’re clever. You may resume posting without having lost your funny post.

This is like watching a guy holding his breath because it’s funny swimming under water. Breath!

:o Mercy me! I never thought I’d get this much attention.

No, I didn’t plan it. I noticed the 7x4 approaching and thought I would do a Search for “lucky” in the thread title. The rest is history.

So I guess I did get particularly lucky this time out. 🆒🙂
