During a game of Texas Hold’em, I once got pocket aces* three times in four consecutive hands. My fellow dopers tell me the chance of that happening is 1 in 2.7 million. Although the odds increase the more hands I play.
About 20 years ago I spent 3 months wandering aimlessly around Europe, drifting from city to city, spend a couple of days there before moving on. There was a ferry from Italy to Greece traveling overnight. While waiting I fell in with a bunch of other people doing the same as I was. There was a Mexican couple on their honeymoon, a few Australians, and another Brit or two. We traveled together as a group to Athens, and then to Santorini, before splitting up and going in different directions.
A few weeks later, I was wandering aimlessly through Amsterdam. I heard someone calling my name, and turned around, and there were the Mexican couple. We were all amazed.
