it's funny cos they're serious!
Bones:
Yesterday I had to drop something off for work to have it repaired. This involved going geographically close to a place that I used to work 10 years ago. For old times sake I intentionally took a detour on the way back to work and stopped at the set of shops next door to where I was employed. I jumped out and walked into a milk bar and purchased a Chiko Roll, went back to my car and just enjoyed the visuals of the old familiar building I worked at for 8 years. I finished my delicious Australian snack and proceeded to leave.
I pulled out the driveway and drove about 100 meters up the road and there was a HUGE building on what used to be a vacant block of land, when I was close enough I read the name of the company. At that VERY moment over the car radio they say the name of that company, I had tuned out to everything else on the radio but the name got my attention because holly crap, I just read it in my own mind 1 second beforehand!
I don't know what the odds of this happening are, but they must have been huge. I almost never leave my desk at work, I was out driving in an area I hadn't been to in best part of a decade (and have no reason to really ever go there), something made me take the detour and stop for a quick snack.... There are a hundred variables that could have changed and added seconds or minutes to my journey and this amazing thing would never had existed.
To the freak, they would have found meaning in this bizarre event and read all sorts of crap into why and how it happened because the odds were just too insane for it to be a case of simple chance. They would have thought that something very personal in the cosmos must have taken place or read some other nonsense into how this could possibly happen.
To a reasonable individual they would see it for what it was, a pretty cool coincidence involving the mighty Chiko Roll.
