The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” This months topic: Why me - why now? Feel like a victim? Life picking on you? Nothing ever seems to go right or how you want or planned? Want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans. I’ll bet you have never heard someone who won the lottery scream: “Why me?” I’ll wager the last words someone says before they pass on is never: “Why me? Why now? Last week, I overheard a conversation between two southerners and it went kinda like this: “I can’t believe he would say that to me. I mean we just celebrated our first anniversary.” “What did he say?” “I’m not sure we should have gotten married. We should have waited a few more years.” “Did you see it coming?” “No.” “Well, maybe you should have paid more attention to his behavior before you said yes.” You get the picture. Stuff happens none of us want or expect. Welcome to the Life Happens Club, folks. How about one more quick observation? On a flight last week, the plane was delayed due to a thunderstorm. The dude sitting next to me kept complaining about how he was going to miss his meeting. I couldn’t resist, so I asked him, “Do you think you will miss your meeting if the plane crashes due to trying to fly in the middle of this storm?” He just looked at me as if I was nuts. Trust me, he was the crazy one. Deal with it. Handle it. Get over it.
