Unfortunately, you try it without sending out a sample for drug screening, something you normally do since developing your fear of being ruffied. That last time you woke up on a gas station bathroom floor with you pants on your head left an indelible mark on your psyche. Fortunately...

Unfortunately, ayahuasca some times takes a while to kick in. On the up side you finished the interview first, but now you have the most interesting ride home of your life ahead of you. Unfortunately...

(I will forgive you your double "unfortunately" since you included a "fortunately" circumstance in your own reply.)

...you frightened the cab driver so badly that he drove you straight to the police station. Fortunately...

he doesn't like you. He decides to throw you in a cell, so he won't have to deal with you at the family Fourth of July barbecue. Fortunately . . .

You still have a lighter in your pocket, and a new round of flatulence is gurgling. You turn, drop trou' aim and fire as you light up. By the time you are done, the entire back wall is charred black, and the bars have melted away. Unfortunately ...

Unfortunately...

...you are wearing a plaid jacket from the 1970s with huge shoulder pads (it used to belong to a game-show host), and the pad on the affected shoulder absorbs the bullet, giving you only a slight bruise. Unfortunately...

There's lots of pain, so you get really, really strong and bust out of prison. Unfortunately...
