I can haz adventure
I went out to the car to get something I needed. On the way back, I went down a staircase I usually don't take, because it was part of a shortcut to the mailbox. On the lowest flight of stairs was a Joker playing card, face up.
I considered this. If this were a movie or a comic, I would pick that card up, there would be something written on the back, and an adventure would begin. (Or I might instantly be horribly killed. It depends on who's writing the script.)
But I had promises to keep, and miles to go before I slept, and was still recovering from stomach flu. So I left it where it was and continued on to the mailbox. Someone else can have the adventure today.
