Unfortunately the hidden trove was guarded by a minuscule fly....called Jim Bob Steve.

Fortunately the view was clear enough to see the whole scene.

Unfortunately Jim Bob Steve knocked Doctor Squirrel down and he died.

Fortunately, due to the Halloween season, Doctor Squirrel came back as a zombie, Doctor Zombie Squirrel.

Unfortunately, Dr Zombie Squirrel found his ex-wife and ate her brains...."BRAAIINNNSSSS"

Fortunately, he then got a very bad case of food poisoning, and thus vowed to become a vegetarian.

Unfortunately, the lettuce and carrots weren't enough to sustain him and he died...again.

Fortunately, his doctor assistants were there. Also, there was a new doctor ready to take over the practice.

Unfortunately the new doctor was an aardvark and therefore had difficulty using his stethoscope.

Fortunately, a genie granted his wish, which was to become a chimpanzee, so he finally got to use his stethoscope.

Unfortunately the chimpanzee only wanted to eat his poop

Fortunately, the genie took over, seeing he was smarter than all those animals.

Fortunately, Tom unfortunately failed to catch Jerry again.

Unfortunately, since the genie was trapped in a lamp, being a doctor was a little hard for him because he had to be carried everywhere.

Fortunately, people discovered that if they ever needed anything they just needed to rub the lamp.

Unfortunately, the genie was eventually so pestered by everyone wanting to be "cured of ugliness" he decided it was easier to turn them all into mute swans.

Fortunately, all the swans were invited to participate in "Swan Lake" and became famous.

Unfortunately, a lot of the people-who-were-turned-into-swans were extremely allergic to feathers, and an epidemic of violent sneezing swept the world.

Fortunately, the sneeze power was harnessed and used to turn millions of windmills that produced electricity.

Unfortunately, since the electricity generated was so useful, nobody bothered to help the poor sneezing swans. As a result, the swans filed a lawsuit against the electricity company.

Fortunately, the lawsuit had no grounds. Soon the swans saw the upside of it and began charging for their sneezes.

Unfortunately they could not tax their sneezes.

Fortunately, fairy godmother is there to help them.

Unfortunately, Fairy Godmother is no expert in financial matters, and the swans only end up with a hefty fine for tax evasion.

Fortunately, the swans hired a tax expert who found a loophole that said animals do not have to pay or collect taxes.

Fortunately, a little old lady knit them some sweaters so they wouldn't be cold in the winter.

Unfortunately the little old lady ran out of yarn so the sweaters were sleeveless.

Fortunately, because they were sleeveless the swans could still fly.

Unfortunately, the swans couldn't fly very well on account of their ceaseless violent sneezing. Fed up with all this hassle, they decided to try and find a cure.

Fortunately, a visiting alien fairy godmother flew in.

She had great knowledge of the tax system so helped them with their financial woes as well as curing them of their pesky allergy.

And they returned to grace the stage with their balletic prowess.

(this thread really cheers me up!) :-)

Fortunately, they went on a diet.

Unfortunately, they ate so little that they fainted every time they pirouetted.
(I love pavlova - the meringue, lol)

Unfortunately they fell into the most evil of habits and fell into the great abyss of spending all of their time taking selfies whilst dancing thereby missing practice sessions.

Fortunately, the alien fairy godmother got them straightened out and back to performing like they were supposed to.

Unfortunately she used to much starch to straighten them out and they danced like stiffs.

Fortunately, that is just the appearance most ballet dancers have, so it went unnoticed by the viewing public who actually started to buy more tickets.

Unfortunately the popularity of ballet led to an increase in dance rage where the public started to fight over admission pricing and lengthy queues.

Unfortunately, the the Cage fight was held in Melbourne Australia and the new laws that were passed just minutes before the first fight resulted in the entertainment for the night being banned, as someone in the audience may have gotten a little globule of sweat on them from the fighters inside the cage.

Fortunately, since their Melbourne performance was cancelled, the swans were able to attend a cricket match.

Unfortunately, our old friend Darth Squirrel had replaced the cricket ball with plastic explosives, and when the batsman hit it, it exploded and blew up the entire pitch.

Fortunately it was a Sheffield Shield cricket match and very few supporters were there so no one got hurt.

Unfortunately, the fans that were there were unprepared for a blinding rainstorm. They all caught cold and some were even stricken with pneumonia.

Fortunately, due to an increase in funding to the health system, there were automated Big Hero 6 robots now at all towns and cities around the world and after visiting these automated health dispensers, every one was cleared and cured of all sickness and disease.

Unfortunately, the robots broke down and many people who got sick later had to be hospitalized.

Fortunately peace had replaced violent confrontation all over the world and Government no longer spent billions of dollars on weapons of mass destruction. Humanity had changed its personna and mankind lived in harmony and respect. Thus the Government built hospitals,repaired transport systems, provided employment. The rich donated to the poor. The poor responded by providing their experience to the rich. No longer was there a division between rich and poor. Everyone worked together to build self respect and a self worth that wiped the jealousies of past cultures and histories. The world worked as one the provide all that was needed for future generations to survive and be prosperous.

Unfortunately, there was global warming and it threatened to destroy the earth and its inhabitants.

Fortunately, as everyone was now working together, a new molecule was invented and released into the atmosphere, which repaired any damage that man had caused by burning coal and leaking dangerous chemicals into the air.

Unfortunately it looks like i am the only human left alive and now have to talk to myself.

Fortunately i am a very good convers.....convers....talker.

Unfortunately, the rest of the humans are, in fact, alive -- they've just been imprisoned in a giant glass dome on Mars by a power-hungry alien called Dave who wants Earth for himself.
