Haven't Had One In A While

What if the Postman is your Opportunity?


Oh no...not again.


Yep! It's Rhetorical Friday! WOOHOO!


Awe crap...


So today's Sametime Status examines the paradoxical relationship between the Postman (Not the Kevin Costner version), and Opportunity.

We all know that 'Opportunity knocks but once' but canonically, the Postman always rings twice. Incidentally, the FedEx guy rings twice as well, in case you were wondering.

In the instance that the Postman is your opportunity, it presents an unanswerable conundrum. Maybe the Postman is delivering your winning lottery numbers, or a college acceptance, or perhaps it's an attractive Postwoman who is destined to be the love of your life....who knows? If they don't realize they're your opportunity, they have no choice but to ring twice. But if they did know that your opportunity was right there, they would be obligated to knock only once or else shear the very fabric of space, time, and chance. It really does boggle the mind.


What boggles my mind is your need to have Rhetorical Friday.


Because it's fun!
