It was the birthday of a work colleague and so she was standing in line at a supermarket, buying a cake to share with the office. She happened to over hear the elderly lady ahead of her in the queue telling the clerk it was her 98th birthday that day. When she leant over to tell the lady they shared a birthday, the man in between them revealed it was his birthday too. They all showed each other I.D. to prove it then shook hands and decided to stay in contact.
What I want to know is, what are the odds of this happening to you on your birthday?
There seems to be three interlocking coincidences at work. Namely, that a random stranger in a queue will share your birthday, that a second random stranger in that queue will also share the date, and lastly, that you will all choose to tell each other.
Answers on a postcard please...
