| Bizarre Coincidences
Posted: 7/18/2006 5:01:49 PM | Years ago I was living with the woman I eventually married. We were in love.
One day, while on my college campus, a girl I used to date walked by and told me she had moved out of her parents' house and had her own apartment. She invited me to drop by and seemed thrilled with her new independence.
Now, this lady had been bad for me. When we dated, we had been in this constant struggle of tease, push away, tease, push away. She was the teaser and I had become a groper, something I had never been in my life with any other woman. I eventually swore her off, but here she was again, months later, handing me a piece of paper with her phone number on it.
I should have told her the truth--that I was involved with someone that I loved and could not come to see her--but there I was deceitfully holding my options open and accepting her phone number on that little piece of paper.
Then, completely out of the blue, an astonishing coincidence happened. As she handed me the paper, it exploded in a white burst of wetness and sprayed both of us. I was hit in the face and I think she got some in her hair. A seagull flying overhead had dropped a missile with an accuracy that was simply stunning.
Both of us were shocked and speechless; we turned and walked away from one another. I dropped the sopping wet paper with its ink running into a blur and headed back to my life wondering about birds, fate and coincidences.
I was married within a year and my marriage lasted eight eventful years. | |

First, I never told my wife about this.
Second, I'd like to think that had the bird not intervened, I would have thrown away the phone number...but I'll never really know. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 6:39:03 AM | great story! I read once about a guy who had a bird crap on his hat as he walked into a
casino and he kept the hat on and won a ton of money. Seems like bird poop can be a
good thing after all! | |

It would be an even more bizarre coincidence if the lady in the story could somehow read this and give me her perspective.
The odds against that happening are far greater than the bird's intervention I would think. | |
