ODDS OF SH-T HAPPENING TO YOU

Dr. Ian Malcolm (math guru from Jurassic Park) preached about the chaos theory. Not sure if these fall into that category, but here are some f’d-up probabilities for you.


Being injured from using a chainsaw: 4,464 to 1


Being audited by the IRS: 175 to 1



Getting hemorrhoids: 25 to 1


              A meteor landing on your house: 182,138,880,000,000 to 1

    I had the IRS so far up my ass it gave me hemorrhoids. What are the odds of that?

    I think as a non-US living guy, my odds with the IRS are more like 175,000,000 to 1

    This is pretty interesting. I'll be gutted if that asteroid does end up hitting me after all, especially if I avoided haemorrhoids!

    If a meteor landed on my house, I'd probably be the unluckiest human being that ever existed.

    I think I'd rather have a meteor hit my house though.

    I will throw a party with 25 people and randomly blurt out "who's got the ass problems in here?!"

    Hold them hostage until someone spills the beans, laugh, go to jail for using a firearm to keep them in place while they answered, etc. It'll make for a great day.

    I'll take the meteor over hemorrhoids any day!

    I'll take the last set of odds, thanks!

    I have trouble with hemorrhoids occasionally so nothing else will go wrong for me, correct?

    Love,

    I'm always on the lookout for the next future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
    Best line of Jurassic Park. What are the odds that somebody would bring up this quote?

    Where does the "25 to 1" for hemorrhoids come from? Your lifetime change of getting hemorrhoids is at least 50%, if not higher (more than half the population over age 50 will have them at some point).

    despite the odds. I still fear the Meteor more then any of the others, even the IRS
