Fortunately, confusion is a state we are all quite familiar with.
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go

Unfortunately, some people have only been confused once in their entire lives. (Get what I'm insinuating?)
Ever since I started equating correlation with causality, violent crime has fallen 58%.

Unfortunately, I am now confused about what Hunter does?
When the fox hears the rabbit scream, he comes a-runnin'.
But not to help.

Unfortunately, if you continue the adage, that means he's a master of none.

Unfortunately, as a sailor he has to wear a goofy uniform (somewhat similar to the one I'll be wearing when I start school in Japan next month.)

Unfortunately, actual Japanese students who have to wear them generally don't think so.

Unfortunately you still have to wear some kind of school uniform.

Fortunately, in the US only those weirdos (or rather those who have weirdos for parents) who go to religious or military schools generally need to wear uniforms. (Though there is usually a dress code, which is often... interestingly phrased. One year the code at my school said you couldn't "wear colors".
)

Fortunately, there are various software packages available for generating neat family trees, so we won't make mistakes.

Humph, I was hosting someone would say they are expensive, I had a good answer.
Fortunately, most IBDoF users use Windows.

Unfortunately, Xyrael's mind was preoccupied with his webserver - or an upcoming party at his house - when he wrote this.
