    Bad luck always happens in threes. Now that you've got that out of the way, you could cycle home blindfold and you'd be fine.

    Not necessarily. If you write it like this:

    Here's what you need to do:

    Butter a slice of toast and then drop it on the floor.
    Precariously balance your cup of tea on the edge of your desk, until you accidentally knock it off.

    After that you're all clear.

    You need to strip off down to your undercrackers and get a powder (paper) suit on first, this will absorb all the sweat and your overalls and clothes will stay clean.
