Yiddish for a person who has extreme bad luck, usually in a least expected way.

For example, a person who bought 10,000 shares of Enron on December 1, 2001. Now there's a shlemazel for you! tounge.gif

And to prove that Mr. Smith doesn't have sole rights to that title, here is another story for you:

Man Arrested After 7th Robbery at Same NLR Store

Posted - September 17, 2002 9:34am

Little Rock (AP) - For Raymond Williams, seven was not his lucky number. Police say the 38-year-old man robbed the same North Little Rock gas station and convenience store six times during the past three months. Each time, police say he pretended to have a gun by covering a hairbrush, wrench or a stick with a white towel.

On Sunday night, Williams' luck ran out. He walked into the convenience store, approached the register with a wrench hidden under the customary towel and left the store with money. But a customer in the store, Eugene Tate, of North Little Rock followed Williams out the door. Tate eventually led police to Williams who was found hiding under a truck.

Williams is charged with seven counts of aggravated robbery.

It's hard to tell who's the bigger shlemazel here, Raymond Williams or the gas staion owner. tounge.gif
