    present your own negative scenario, and the next person below must find a single positive aspect to it, then present their own.


    e.g - you've been locked up for years for a crime you didn't commit


    you wont have to worry about bills, expenses, you've guaranteed accommodation, food etc.




    to start off:

    your partner caught you cheating and has left you.

    The joy of getting to pick out a new puppy.

    House burns down and you cant get a mortgage to buy a new one or cant afford to rent.

    This is my favourite real life example

    "Oops! I Dropped the Lemon Tart. As Bottura explains to host and fellow-chef James Martin, the recipe first came about when Kondo Takahiko, Osteria Francescana’s pastry chef, let go of one of the restaurant’s signature desserts at an inopportune moment. Rather than simply ditch the smashed tart, Takahiko and Bottura decided to remake it in a culinary tribute to the thing that defines great art in any sphere - imperfection."

    everyone will be looking to him for money and you may get some out of guilt.

    you're hanging off the edge of a cliff by one hand, each finger slowly falling, imminent death.

    You can fly!! (Briefly)

    You think you've found an exotic insect, but it turns out to be a bee.

    But you promptly escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, you survive as a soldier of fortune. If someone has a problem, if no one else can help, and if they can find you, maybe they can hire you and the A-Team.
