but he smells like ranch dressing

Are you one to pick up on signs, recoccuring images or words? Sometimes a word jumps out at you, you may not be familiar with it but it sticks in your brain.  A while later you see the word again, you furrow your eyebrows and think, that's weird here it is again. Maybe that happens a couple more times before you actually decide to find out what exactly it means.  This has recently happened to me.

SNAFU* - what the what? I didn't know the military had a an acronym for my life. This is amazing, this is a revelation - of sorts - how do they know me so well?

Like the time, three weeks ago when my bike got stolen from work. In broad daylight. Locked up. With literally 40 other bikes in the rack to choose from. Why mine?

Like the time, I lost my cell phone, twice, in one week.

Like the time, I was trying to earn a living by being a part-time associate editor. Oh wait, that's ongoing. Right.

OR like this time (scroll down and watch the 'Tighten Up' video), when Dan Auerbach's kid doesn't want to play with Patrick Carney's kid because, "he smells like ranch dressing." Guess what kid, 'situation normal - all effed up'.

It's messed up that your Dad's friend's son smells like ranch dressing. But props to four-eyes on kickin' your ass. Ranch dressing or no ranch dressing, not only did he get the girl but he also socked it to your shagtastic head (it's time for a hair cut).

Suck it up - SNAFU, my friend, SNAFU.

*Disclaimer: I am almost entirely unfamiliar with 'common' acronyms.  I have to be reminded what LMFAO means. After I sent what, in hindsight may not have been the most appropriate work email, I got this in return, NSFW.  To which my reply was WTF? Now, I do know what that means.  But other than that I am forever lost in a sea of AFAIK, AFK, HOAS, FWIW and TTFNs.
