Tossing keys at the hook reminds me of the time a friend dropped her keys on the boat. Over the side they went into the salt-chuck.  Her dismay prompted me to set her up with a big fish hook on a line and told her to start casting.  After about 30 frustrating minutes she gave up in exasperation and stomped up the dock to the office.

I caught them on the 3rd try.  She paid for lunch.

Holy cow !

My story on this theme:

Thursday afternoon at university... no classes so I would listen to the college station at my university.  I called in to request a song, but at 2 PM the news comes on and her show is up... and the song "Tell me, she said" didn't come on.  Oh well.

Exactly one week later, I thought about requesting it again but decided against it... but I really wanted to hear the song... hoping she would play it... but... no...

At 2 PM the news theme comes on... and WHAT'S THIS ?  The SONG IS PLAYING OVER THE NEWS THEME ?!?  And after a few seconds she cuts it.

I felt like I willed the song to come on, so I called the station to ask her what happened ?

"Funniest thing, she said, some guy called last week to request it and I wanted to play it this week but ran out of time.  I had it cued up on the turntable and when the news started it just started playing !!!"

I didn’t watch the videos, but the most ludicrously lucky thing I’ve ever done was to be born….

They say the odds are something like 1 in 400 trillion.

Probably about the same as a virtual particle going Bang, Bigley.  I wonder if there's a connection?

They say I’m made of the components of stars exploding….  So, yes, there seems to be a connection!   

Don’t think about it too much though…. That’s a path to insanity!

That’s how I pronounce it.  Seems silly when you spell it phonetically.
