There is KARMA - although it is sometimes delayed. Shortly after ORG was acquired in 2005 and well before the HALL OF ORG was established, Ryan Smith was the very first to ORG. But over the next 11 years, Ryan, who is much better known for his nose riding and shaping skills, could not repeat that simple task. In fact, his abysmal failure called into serious question his ORG of 2005. Finally, on June 25, 2016 after a most epic match, Ryan qualified to be inducted. In this match, his opponent ORGED in the first inning. Given that Ryan was utterly hopeless in his prior matches, it seemed certain his opponent would become an inductee. However, Ryan, who in mid-match bellowed this if for Danielle, inexplicably EXPLODED with 12 runs over the last 3 innings, which included a high arching frontal ORG. To the delight of the many who were present, the usually subdued Ryan threw himself down and did a vigorous worm. But only after his opponent's last shot in the bottom of the 5th went left was Ryan declared the victor by 1 stroke - 12-11. If you see Ryan please congratulate him, and it is strongly suggested you ask him to do the worm. If he balks, offer him chocolate ganache, and then watch him wiggle.
