Law of Threes
A Brief Piece on Terniary Coincidence
Cecil X. Nixxon
Uncle Harry died. That sick kid on Walnut Street went, too. And now the mayor. They say they always come in threes. That’s because they do. They always come in threes.
Two down, one to go. Third time’s charm. Three sheets to the wind. Three strikes and you’re out. Three on a match, someone’s dead. Deadly cold, it’s a Three Dog Night.
Horny as hell, like a three-peckered billy goat. Three wise monkeys: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. The three Wise Men. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Three roots below the World Tree are the Three Levels of the Universe. That three-headed dog guards the gates to hell. Moe, Larry, Curly.
Solid, Liquid, Gas. Length, Width, Depth. Red, Yellow, Blue.
Electron, Proton, Neutron. And, Or, Not. The Third Planet from the sun, with a Crust, Mantle, and Core. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral.
TLA: Three Lettered Acronyms.
AOL, IBM, FBI, CIA, BBC, ATM, CGI, ERA, RBI, IED, VGA, USB, SUV, WWW. WTF.
They always come in threes.
Your survival depends on your knowledge of the Law of Threes:
- They say a human can live without air for three minutes.
- They say a human can live exposed to the extreme elements for three hours.
- They say a human can live for three days without water.
- They say a human can live for three weeks without food.
- They say a human can live for three months without love.
They always come in threes.
