You Know Things Are Bad

When your football team claims moral victory after scoring 3 points.

When you're happy that your kid scores a 3 on her ACT or 300 on the SAT

When your dog only wakes you up 3 times at night

When the three roses you've grown are more than you expected.

When you're happy to see as many as three people in your congregation for Sunday Services.

You know things are bad for the Israelis when their army sends out a press release on the occasion of killing three enemy fighters.

CNN: "Troops have killed at least three Hezbollah militants and found stockpiles of rocket-propelled grenades, anti-tank missiles, a cannon with shells and a machine gun, the IDF said."
