You can only finish it once.

It would seem to me that it would only be possible to finish anything once. That was until a particularly large essay had to be handed in. Proudly, and tiredly I went to hand it in, all 3 million pages. In old money, that is around half the New Forest.
So imagine my indignity when I was given it back two weeks later, with the other half of the New Forest stuck to it in the form of post-its.
To cut a long story short, it has now taken me around a month to finish it completely. And I’m sick of the sight of it.

It did however get me thinking, dangerous I know, about what else you can only really finish/do once.

1. The most obvious is your own life. That really is a wee bit terminal.
2. Secondly, being born. You can only finish that once too, no climbing back in.
3. Killing someone else, well if you can only die once, its seems fair that the rule should stick to everyone else too.
4. Become old. Judging by observations of some women around the place, once is enough for anybody.
5. Have a squint operation on one eye.
6. Win the lottery jackpot. No one has ever won twice.


As you can tell, doing all this work has made my brain hurt. So im off to caffine myself up and then bounce off the walls.

Cheerio
