Haiku Wednesday XXV: Assigning Blame

When the Cowboys lose,
Brian always says, "You're fault!"
What did I do wrong?


The Metroplex continues to struggle through the week after my favorite Jedi played like dog poop Saturday night.

Of course, it could be worse. At least the team's owner wasn't caught picking his nose on national TV.

Oops ... never mind.


Until next time,
The Jim

First of all, I said "YOUR fault," not "YOU'RE." They sound the same, but I spoke with the correct spelling. It's possible that I said YOU'RE AT fault, but that would have messed up your syllables.

And since you asked, I'll tell everyone what you did wrong: Jim didn't bring his computer when he came over to watch the Giants game on Sunday.

The prior Sunday, he brought his laptop to track fantasy football while we watched the Cowboys-Buccaneers game. Result? The Cowboys rolled to victory.

Everyone knows that you can't make any major changes to the game watching ritual if you wish to preserve a winning streak. Everyone but Jim apparently.

So when Jim shows up for the Giants game last Sunday, he walks in sans laptop. I knew instantly that the Cowboys were going to lose. And I said so. And I was right.

The reason for this loss could not be more clear. Some blame Romo's three interceptions. Some blame the Cowboys defense which allowed a crucial game clenching drive by the Giants. I, however, know the truth.

It was YOUR fault Jim.

Oh, I see. I thought I heard you pronounce the apostrophe. I must have been mistaken.
