I assume you’ve noted the disturbing pattern:
- (CNN) — Legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, who spent half a century putting high society in haute couture, has died. He was 82…
- South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been given five years in jail for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp….
On the chance there is some sort of twist on the Rule of Three in operation here, if you’re Oscar the Grouch, you’ve got to be worried…
Oscar de la Hoya might want to be careful in the boxing ring for the next little while, also.
Also, your “grave danger” reminds me of one of my favorite movie lines:
COL. JESSUP: I ordered him to have Santiago transferred immediately.
LT. KAFFEE: Why?
COL. JESSUP: His life might be in danger.
LT. KAFEE: Grave danger?
COL. JESSUP: Is there another kind?
Every time I hear someone say “grave danger”, my internal monologue says Is there another kind in that Jack Nicholson kind of gravely tone.
I hear a local TV news anchor during sweeps week: “Your children may be in grave danger. Tune in at 11…”
Five years? they say he may only serve 10 months. It seems like the judge was ambivalent…
