Shit happens

Shit happens is the motto for a series of satirical jokes religious and philosophical definitions, circulating on the Internet. The following is a collection assembled from different sources. The jokes are of course caricatures not meant to insult any particular creed and may reflect particular non neutral points of view. This joke was featured in the movie Forrest Gump, where the main character, Forrest, gets mud thrown in his face and when asked of his thoughts, replies, "It happens," which is supposedly spun by the questioner into the "shit happens" slogan.
