Funny fast line of the day

I just read this in someone else's blog.
It's so perfect, I'm going to repeat it. Is that illegal?
It goes like this:

"I found a tack in my shoe on Friday. The next day Trev got a nail in his tire. Foreshadowing!"

It's just exactly right, like a freakin haiku, except funny, plus I don't hate it. I can't stand haikus. I think they're so amazingly pretentious. I suspect the Japanese know that they're pretentious and, in fact, invented them as a sly scam on foreigners. Whenever some tin-eared westerner pretends to understand them and says something pompous like haikus are so spare and elegant; what a lovely Japanese art form! they get to laugh their asses off at us.
