You are never going to believe this...

...in a million years.  Have you ever heard that if you put a monkey at a typewriter for long enough he will produce the Lord's prayer?  This story is kind of like that, only imagine that odds of that monkey coming up with it on his first go around.  Here it goes:

Tracy and I went to DC101 Blocktoberfest in Arlington on Saturday.  I don't know how many people attended, but it had to be in the thousands. For those of you who will ask "Was it a good time?" I will tell you that all of the bands seemed to be cover bands, they only served Budweiser, and there was a $20 cover.  If that is your scene, then yes, it was fun.  Anyway, back to the story.  Tracy refused to use the "Don's Johns" all day.  Every time she had to go, she would go all the way into the mall.  Finally, on a whim, she relented and decided to use one.  She found a purse in it.  We quickly stripped all of the money and credit cards from the purse and threw it in the trash.  Just kidding.  We looked inside for contact information, and decided to call the pharmacy number on a prescription we found in the purse.  The pharmacy called her and left a message, telling her my phone #, so at around 11:00 this morning she finally calls, and it went like this:

Angie:  Hey, I understand you found my purse!  Thank you...

Me:  Don't mention it, it was my pleasure.

Angie:  Well I would like to come pick it up, what is good for you?

Me:  I have to be at a kickball game at 12:45, could you come by there?

Angie:  Wait...  do you play at Lake Fairfax?

Me: Yes...

Angie:  Oh my God I play at Lake Fairfax today too...

Me:  What is your team name?!

Angie:  Scoregasm!

Me:  MY TEAM IS PLAYING YOUR TEAM THIS AFTERNOON.

This was the point where I actually experience a schizophrenic break from reality, one of those "I have got to be dreaming this" experiences.  The first three times I told this story this Sunday all the hair on my forearms stood up.  I really wish I knew a statistician who could calculate the odds of something like this happening.  My only question is this, if something like this can happen to me, why can't I win the lottery?

That is quite the coincidence! Is she single? Maybe Cupid had something to do with this.

I hope you bought a lottery ticket for this week!
