Hunger struck

An old chair once found itself in panic because the dense crowd trying to squeeze into the subway trian seemed like it would prevent the chair from getting off the train and to an interview which held the promise of a better career. The chair was frustrated with its current job and wanted to move up. After a good bit of pushing, shoving, and grunting, the chair got off the train. As it was walking out of the subway station, an official performing random checks asked the chair for its ticket. The chair reached into its pocket and found it didnt have any. Didnt have any pockets, that is. The chair was slapped with a six hundred dollar fine and eighteen hours of community service. Because of the delay caused by this incident, and the ensuing stress, discomfort, and nervousness, the chair came accross as a fidgety kook and a nervous wreck in the interview. No hire.

Moral of story: Two wrongs do not make a right. Three..., maybe; but definitely not two. No way.
