What is a vicious circle?

Post by Joiseygirl »

For those who do not know, a vicious circle is a situation worsened by attempted solutions: a situation in which attempts to solve one problem lead to further problems that only make the original position worse.

Here’s an explanation in a nutshell.

A minister called his secretary:
- Evelyn, my love: I have a seminar in Rio de Janeiro for a week and I want you to accompany me. We’ll relax on the beach and in bed all week. Make all travel arrangements.

The secretary calls her husband:
- John, my love: My crappy boss just called to inform me that I have to travel to Rio for a seminar next week.

The husband calls his lover:
- Lisa, my sweetie - my wife will be traveling abroad for a week, we can spend the whole week together.

The lover (who is a teacher) calls her student who she gives private lessons:
- Charlie, I have too much work next week . I will won’t be able to give you lessons.

The student calls his grandfather:
Grandpa, my teacher is busy next week so I’ll have no class. We’ll finally be able to go fishing together!

The grandfather (who is the minister), calls the secretary:
- Evelyn, my love, my grandson who I haven’t seen all year, does not have class next week so he called to go fishing with me. We will not be able to attend the seminar. Cancel the trip and the hotel and in a couple of months we’ll plan another honeymoon together.

The secretary calls her husband:
- John: My F***** boss confused date and just canceled the trip.

The husband calls his lover:
-Sweetie, we can’t spend the week together, the seminar my fat ass wife was attending has been canceled.

The lover calls her student:
- Charlie, plans have changed and I’ll be able to give you classes as usual.

The child calls the grandfather:
- Grandpa, the old bitch of my teacher told me that I have classes as usual, I won’t be able to go fishing with you.

The grandpa calls the secretary:
- Evelyn, my love: My grandson just told me he won’t be able to go fishing with me because he has classes. So buy the tickets and red thong we’re going to Rio de Janeiro.
