Fortunately, It's A Game; Unfortunately, I Need Players

Thought I'd try a game thread ... see how disastrously it'd turn out. Got this one straight from Wikipedia.

• One person begins with a sentence (e.g., One day Little Johnny walked to the local shoe shop).
  
• The next person tells of something unfortunate that happens (e.g., Unfortunately, Little Johnny was hit by a refrigerator.).
  
• The following person contributes a fortunate event (e.g., Fortunately, the refrigerator was made entirely of marshmallows).
  
• The fourth person will contribute an unfortunate event (e.g., Unfortunately, these marshmallows had poisonous spikes on them).
  
• The fifth person will contribute a fortunate event (e.g., Fortunately, the spikes also contained the antidote), and the process is repeated.

Note to OP: this will work fine if our posts don't overlap, but here it's difficult to know what's being posted while we're writing. Just sayin'. Nice idea, though.

Fortunately, the Captain didn't die from drunk driving, but rather cancer, 13 and a half years later.

Yeah, happens on the acronym thread occasionally, too.

Unfortunately, Leo's brother didn't like him.

...but, nevertheless, there wasnt a cloud in the sky as they headed for the deserted isle...

Fortunately, their air hostess liked both of them

This still works

...but the hostess was known for being gassy...

(sidebar: flatulence on deserted DESERT island is a plus?... )

Can help to fuel the adapted new aircraft

(in recognition of my 666th post)

...the old blind and senile captain lit a ciggie and the hostess ignited...

Fortunately, they thought they'd landed up in Hell and then died of relief to realise that they were still on the island, but just a bit charred

Unfortunately a disturbed scorpion was approaching.

...fortuneately, it wasnt really a scorpion but a spaceship operated by lovely people who rescued the downed party and fed them fava beans with a delightful chianti...

Mr. James was on his way to work when he ran into his long-hated nemesis, Mr. Bigglesworth..
