Going back to grade school days: An office remake of "Fortunately, Unfortunately"

Fortunately, I got my oatmeal from the microwave without it overflowing.
Unfortunately, I dropped the (three-quarters full) container.

Fortunately, I caught it, juggling a few times.
Unfortunately, that juggling also involved my cup of coffee.

Fortunately, I didn't get any coffee on my khaki pants.
Unfortunately, I did spill coffee on my shirt.

Fortunately, I was wearing a black shirt.
Unfortunately, I missed the haystack.

Crap.

All I remember is that punchline. How does the original joke go?

Oof. Great start to the day, eh?

At least you fortunately didn't also land on the pitchfork.

The version I vaguely remember:

I'm in a plane that has engine trouble.

F, I jump out of the plane with a parachute.
U, The parachute has a hole in it.
F, there is a haystack in a field below.
U, there is a pitchfork in the haystack.
F, I missed the pitchfork.
U, I missed the haystack.
