Unfortunately

Daphne Xu's picture

"Fortunately, Chris got an invitation to a party in the mail." Unfortunately, I have no idea what kind of party is held in the mail. (A reference to the Marx Brothers.)

I was also reminded of a routine from my childhood (told by another child) about a someone skydiving without a parachute. "No, that's good." "No, that's bad."

Or (to paraphrase)

Any party that invites me is not a party that I want to go to.
