DISASTER is when your spouse, her hands full, decides to try to open the gate with a karate kick, misses the latch completely, and loses her balance.
CATASTROPHE is when she drops the DQ ice cream cup she was carrying.
APOCALYPSE is when it lands upside down, in the sand.
EMBARRASSMENT is when it turns out you know all four of the horsemen that show up in response to her cursing, but you can’t remember the name of one of them. Was it Fred? John? Hildegaard? Damn, those skulls all look the same when the sky abruptly darkens and giants stride the Earth.
Gimme back our ice cream!
