Josh (Sweet Cheeks Honey) and his stains

The past week has seen another story unfold. My roommate Josh is a superhero. His strength is his uncanny ability to attract stains. The first such example occurred at the grocery store Di per Di. While holding a bottle of wine, he unwittingly transferred a stain from the bottom of the bottle to his sweater. A beautiful red wine circle. The problem was as the humidity was too high for clothes to dry it took all week for his sweater to become wearable again. Example 2, white pants. I know what you are thinking, honestly who attempts to wear white pants in Rome. If you weren't thinking this it is simply because you have not been to Rome. Lesson one, white pants in Rome are a bad idea. Simply put Josh has a close encounter with a building. A magnificent streak of urban grime was haphazardly distributed across the entire front of his pants. Example 3. Now at this point Josh is a little more inclined to be careful. Learning how to control a super power takes time. Now he was about to leave the Hobbit Hole to go draw with charcoal in a white shirt, but he stopped himself. He changed his shirt to black...smart one Josh, you catch on. Now the funny thing about both super powers and irony are their careful marriage with fate. As Josh walks out the door he is happy for having caught his white shirt debacle and proudly states that he prevented another stain. Here is where fate steps up and shows irony what to do. As Josh walks out the door of the school, a large fowl decides to deploy a hearty white stain to Josh's black shirt. All Josh can do is tag someone else with the luck, hopefully it isn't me.
