If you didn't have bad luck.....

A relative of mine is living the "If you didn't have bad luck you'd have no luck at all" life. I wonder why these things happen to good people. Here's what's happened. His wife is 6 months pregnant with their first child. (That's the only good news here.) His grandfather died and he had to pay $500 for a plane ticket to go to the funeral. His computer got a virus the day after he ran his virus-check and it's totally dead, a fact that took $129 to find out. His step-father was visiting from the coast and suffered severe altitude sickness when they went camping in the mountains, so when my friend was trying to get him home he got a traffic ticket. He lost his job, which amounts to no paycheck and no insurance. April 15th rolled around and, you guessed it...he had to pay Uncle Sam and the state of Colorado $2000. Then his wife had to go to the hospital twice because of pregnancy related problems. Etc, etc, etc. So now this college-educated, hard-working young man is going to start a job doing construction because there just isn't anything else and he's not one of those bums who sits around waiting for a handout. He and his wife (who is working also) are plowing through their savings because every employer on earth wants 3-5 years of experience and he hasn't even been out of college that long! Just doesn't seem right does it?
