A shot in the Dark.
This whole thing arose from a beer discussion about odds of running
into your next door neighbor on a vacation to .....say Tokyo or such.
Then...as beer flowed, someone brought up the story about the
Greenland flight that ran out of fuel, landed and the crew walked
out. 60 some years later, one of the pilots got back a photo or some
such knick knack. Odds?
I had a friend whose father accused him of losing his favorite crowbar
when my friend was a kid. It was one of those Sunday dinner topics at
his house for years. "Why should I loan you my.........., I never got
my crowbar back? You kids can't take care of stuff!" His Dad has
been dead for 35 years. Fred is now 60. While Fred was remodeling
the basement of the house he inherited.........guess what was hanging
behind the plaster in the bathroom wall? When Fred sheetrocked the
bathroom....he placed the crowbar back on the stud where he found it
and sheetrocked over it.
