And that bad situation was Super Bowl XLVI. Being Patriots fans, our hearts hurt too much to talk more about it.
But when life gives you lemons, you can either suck on them and make a funny face or you can make lemonade, put a little umbrella in it, and drink it under the midday sun. The thing about life giving you lemons is that you have to take the lemons. You can't just poo poo them or throw them back.
So when you see a commercial for Papa John's that says if the coin toss is heads, everyone in their e-mail club gets a free large one-topping pizza --- that's right, large-- and a 2 liter bottle of soda, you JOIN that e-mail list. You don't say, "Oh that's a good deal. Maybe I'll sign up later." You just do it. Spam mail and all.
And when the coin toss is heads, you celebrate.
As Giselle said, "My husband cannot [@#)$*@#] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time." No, no he can't. Maybe you can't win a free large pizza and have your team win the Super Bowl, either. And if you had to have one or the other, you'd definitely pick the Patriots. But if it's not going to work out either way, a free pizza is a darn good deal. Was it the best pizza we ever had? No. But was it the best free pizza we ever had? Most certainly.
We were pretty excited about our free large pizza but when it comes down to it, it's kind of like that t-shirt your parents brought back for you when they went on a tropical vacation: The Patriots went to the Super Bowl and all I got was this lousy pizza.
Thanks for nothin, Brady.
