How and why the SHIT HAPPENS CLUB St.Jory de Chalais was founded
|
|
|
|
The six founder members of the Club (two English and a German couple) live in a small, typical south-western-french village of St. Jory de Chalais in the Green Perigord in the department Dordogne in France since some time. The regular evening conversations in the bar revolved permanently what had happened during the day with the French bureaucracy, with customers, with craftsmen working for us and all the strange things that happened around etc. The conversations took place in English language and so the expression “shit happens” became a winged word for all kinds of flops, bad luck and breakdowns and spread across the complete circle of friends. Since we have to deal with all kind of people in the daily life, it didn't fail to appear that we did not work only with nice people, but also with these which one generally describes as "Assholes". The phrase "Assholes never die" arose from this and found entrance in the motto of our club. And because we were all working in the tourist buissness, it is part of our job to clean sanitary facilities of all kind. So it is no wonder, that one of our standart phrases became “pigs are everywhere”.

The presidency in our Club shall change monthly, but it is also possible, that everything can stay as it is.. It just depends on who has got the best, funniest or stupid " shit happens event " to announce. This one gets them a brown sweatshirt, that he/she has to wear with pride for the month .

Yes,we know that we aren't the only ones that are hit by SHIT HAPPENS EVENTS which make our lives very hard but sometimes the SHIT HAPPENS EVENTS also enrich our lives because the end result when relayed to others, produces collective laughter and happiness (with a full beer glass in hand!) , (by the way, the lucky ones can found in the "Lucky Bastards Club" and perhaps, give some of their luck to us). There is no special conditions for Non-Residents, the membership can be purchased by a single membership fee of 100,-Euros (or 70 pounds) by cheque payable to Colin Maclean when you are hit by a Shit Happens Event that is worth telling us about and if you can send a photo by e-mail to stefan.cilimba @ wanadoo.fr . We will publish this then under the category " Shit Happens Events " , so that there are more people who can have some fun. Also you will get a t-shirt with the SHIT HAPPENS logo and the label " Non-resident Member " as well as a corresponding document about the membership. The money remaining after discount of all costs goes to the greedy and boozy founder member to get pissed on!.

Shit Happens Events are well all manners of flops, bad luck or breakdowns which can happen to one here in france.
We distinguish between several kinds of shit happens Events. On the one hand the so-called "real" or "Classic" shit happens Events, i. e. one deals in real shit, e.g. if our sanitary facility on the camping site is blocked and we are up to the shoulder in this shit or if Colins septic tank or the swimmingpool overflows etc. , on the other hand that one of "normal" shithappens Events, well everything what can so go wrong.
The shit happens Events is collected by loose consequence under the title "JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE" and published here!
