I feel sorry for women named Karma. Besides the Culture Club song, "Karma Chameleon," what do most people associate with the word "karma"? Or more specifically, what is the most common thing people say with regard to the word? "Karma's a bitch." I can just imagine the following dialogue occurring where one of the two participants is unaware that the other knows a woman by the name of Karma.
Setting: A bar by the name of AAWA (Alcoholics After Work Anonymous)
Jonathan Slushy: "Can you believe what happened at work today? I mean, what were the odds that right after Chad got off the phone angry, he'd throw his stapler at the door and it'd hit Billy right smack dab on the forehead as he opened the door at just the right, or I guess wrong time?"
Alexander Bourbon: "Well, you did hear Billy accidentally ran over Chad's pet hamster, right?"
Jonathan: "Really? What in the world was Chad's hamster doing on the road?"
Alexander: "I don't know, man, but it's like they say, karma's a bitch."
Jonathan: "Wait, you know Karma?"
Alexander: "Yeah, don't you?"
Jonathan: "Well, yeah. I just didn't realize you knew her too."
Alexander: "Are you kidding? Everyone knows karma!"
Jonathan: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Alexander: "Karma is the queen of all bitches, man. Everyone has met her at least once in their lives, or in most people's cases, twenty or thirty times."
Jonathan: "Wow, I didn't know she got around so much..."
Alexander: "Oh, she gets around so much, even records are impressed."
:: Karma walks in and sits next to them ::
Jonathan: "Hey, look, I know we just started seeing each other, but I've realized I don't think I'm ready for this right now. I just got divorced ten years ago after a shaky five-day marriage, and I just need some more time to reflect and heal. I hope you understand."
Karma Martinez: "Oh, well, okay, I guess. Call me if you change your mind."
:: Karma walks out of the bar ::
Alexander: "Who the hell was that?"
Jonathan: "That was Karma."
Alexander: "Karma? Karma who?"
Jonathan: "Karma Martinez. We just met a couple of weeks ago at church. Who were you talking about?"
Alexander: "Uh, somebody else... Well, based on what I've done here, I better go pay my tab, head back home, and make sure karma doesn't go and ruin my marriage!"
Jonathan: "Why would Karma do that?"
Alexander: "I told you, karma's a bitch!"
Jonathan: "Wait, Karma who?"
Alexander: "I don't know!"
:: Alexander pays and then runs out ::
Jonathan: (mumbles) "I wonder what his deal is. I think I better just pay up, go home, and listen to some Culture Club."
