The old superstition that bad things come in threes has been widely commented upon. Visually, it would be three-legged stool. But after many years experiencing "bad" things which turn out to be good things (like the old jokes and stories about fortunately/unfortunately) bad things aren't threes. They are more like millipedes--all due respect to that humble species. Many try to explain the reasons for bad things and their multiplicity. Some of that is helpful, but others just won't fit the circumstances.
