Unlikely but true things that happened to me:
I was driving in Southwest Virginia a while back and spotted a black hearse whiz by. Then I heard police sirens blasting from a distance. The hearse, in an effort to avoid the fuzz, swerved and careened off the highway. Onto Route 666.
When I was a waitress in college, my seventh grade science teacher came into the restaurant. She instilled in me the love of science and all things medical. I lost my dissection virginity in her class to a worm we had christened Xavier before we made the first slice. We went on to dissect a frog and a rat. My teacher ordered the frog legs special. There were no rat sightings.
While in Washington, D.C. ages ago, I was with a friend visiting from Wisconsin. We flicked on the TV and paused on PBS because we recognized a familiar voice, only to see her giving a tour of an art museum in her small town in Wisconsin. Random acts of weirdness.
I once had a crazy will-try-anything-once kind of friend named Stacy Fears. Her boyfriend was named Pat Dicks. I wonder if they ever got married. Her name would be Stacy Fears Dicks. Ahem.

I REALLY hope Stacy married Pat. I have a friend named Ford Sellers. His wife’s name is Catherine Carr. Her married name is Mrs. Ford Carr Sellers.
I once interviewed someone who had fabricated his resume. I knew it was fabricated because one of the jobs he listed was one that had been MINE. (Spoiler: he didn’t get hired!)

Heh. Years ago, my friend Ms. Ball dated a Mr. Dick. It only lasted a few-several months, but what fun with names. ;p
