Small World, or, What a Coincidence

I live in Virginia and I ordered some items from Albert Uster Imports to send to the bakery which is, of course, in Washington. The only Albert Uster Imports I know about are in Gaithersburg, Maryland, right next door to Jim's pastry school.

Ten minutes after I placed the online order, I got a call from an AUI rep, who said he was in Lynnwood, Washington. The caller identified himself and I recognized his last name, which happens to be the same name of a woman I used to work with in Poulsbo, where the bakery is, on the other side of the country. He asked about this order being placed from Virginia but being sent to Poulsbo, and I commended him on knowing how to pronounce it. He replied that he lived in Poulsbo in years past. Long story a little shorter: he was the husband of the woman I worked with! What an incredible coincidence. I mean, what are the odds? I should have bought a lottery ticket.
