Three fifths of the time or more, I am usually wrong.
So am I drunk or what?

There are several US films and drama episodes about the benefits of a
college room-mate dying.



I can just imagine a scenario closer to home:

"You're as thick as two short planks. Why do you think Cambridge
University might accept you?"

"Well, my gran keeps thousands of birds but hundreds died the weekend
before my exams."

"Hmm, that rounds your marks up to 100%. You start in the Autumn,
Prince Charles."

"Thank you sir. Please accept this pair that I personally bagged."
