So you go first. What's a seemingly fortunate event? You can start "Fortunately, ...."

judge: in this game of wits, DebbieDowner will battle You. DebbieDowner will try to come up with a clever way that whatever fortunate event You can come up is actually bad news in some subtle way. The two will take turns, alternating between good and bad spin and continuing to advance the narrative.
judge: for example, if You says "fortunately, I won the lottery", DebbieDowner might respond "unfortunately, the winning prize was only a one dollar." Then You might say “fortunately that dollar was an incredibly rare minting that was worth a million dollars.”

You: Fortunately I found a bag of chips at my house to eat with it instead
DebbieDowner : Unfortunately, this bag of chips is a couple years old and stale.
You: Fortunately it's a collectors item now, worth hundreds on ebay
