After yesterday's post, in which I mentioned that I'd dreamt about Jehova's Witnesses the night before they actually pitched up on our doorstep, here are two more unrelated coincidences (nothing to do with dreams).
I'm sure you heard about the captain of the tragically shipwrecked Costa Concordia, who just happened to "fall" into a lifeboat (and then refused to get back on his ship). Well, in today's Times, there's the sad story of the man accused of rape. No, no, quoth he, in reply to the charges against him. It wasn't rape at all. He just happened to "fall" onto the victim and penetrate her. It was all an accident, you see. (He seemed to forget that a degree of physiological readiness would have been necessary for this to happen, never mind the removal/undoing of at least some clothing.)

'"....here are two are two more." Is that a reference to dreams or happenings? Surely you didn't dream those two occurrences. So did you dream the rape incident or did it really happen? If so it's even more unbelievable than a dream.
ReplyDeleteSorry. I'll amend the post to make it clearer. These were just more coincidences, and nothing to do with dreams. Thanks for that, Graham!
DeleteWhat a ...!
ReplyDeleteI won't sink to the depths of actually saying it, but I am sure you have no trouble filling in the left-out word.
Meike, I have no idea what you can possibly mean.
DeleteThis isn't a laughing matter but it reminds me of the old joke. A couple were charged with gross indecency but after he had explained that he was doing press ups in the park and she wasn't there when he started the case was dismissed.
ReplyDeleteI love the story, Adrian!
DeleteNow I've heard everything! Love genuine coincidences like that dream turning into reality - as long as it's not a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteRosemary, Jehova's Witnesses are always a nightmare.
