Fortunately/Unfortunately

[The Rose-Tree Dryad]

Fortunately, you've been keeping a journal of your exploits this entire time.

[Movie Aristotle]

Unfortunately, the journal was left in the rain.

[The Rose-Tree Dryad]

Fortunately, most of the pages are still legible.

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately, you'll have to rewrite them in a new volume if you wish to preserve your memories.

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately your library membership entitles you to access computers, printers, scanners and photocopiers.

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately the power is out at the library.

[Movie Aristotle]

Fortunately you have an electric eel.

[waggawerewolf27]

Unfortunately, the electric eel really belongs to a plumber who doesn't believe in the need for libraries.

[Ryadian]

Fortunately, the eel doesn't share his owners distaste for libraries, and in fact helps you figure out how to get the power back on.

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately, it's such a shocking experience you need to take a good long break afterwards.

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately, you survived, and are sueing the council for their lack of maintenance to keep the place safe.

[NarnianMonkey]

Unfortunately, the only lawyers you can hire that are in your area cost $1,000,000,000,000, and you only have $1,000 on hand (you have more at home, but the trial starts in 5 minutes, and your home is 10 minutes away).

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately there are a lot of rate-payers who are also annoyed about the Council's failure to maintain the place properly who join you in a class action, and the lawyer also agrees to let you have legal aid.

[Meltintalle]

Unfortunately, the legal aid turns out to be a anthropomorphic lawbook.

[waggawerewolf27]

Fortunately the lawbook states clearly that people with low incomes are entitled to free legal representation, and also prohibit lawyers overcharging clients unless the said clients are multi-millionaires.

[ValiantArcher]

Unfortunately, you're not considered to have a low income.
