The breaks

Change of direction or luck

1) The football team thats down 7-0 in the fourth quarter recovers a fumble. "That's the breaks."

2) "Hey, man. What's up?"

"I just met this girl. She's perfect. I love her."

"That's great. Congrats. You ask her to marry you?"

"Yeah. She said no."

"Ouch. Those are the breaks."
