Story 1: Amazing Synchronicity
Sometime in the 1980s, a Mr. Jenkins of Leicestershire, England experienced a remarkable case of synchronicity - a coincidence that seemed destined to be. Jenkins had traveled with his wife to Edinburgh, Scotland to visit their daughter. On a whim, he decided to look up McKirdy, an old friend from their days in the Royal Air Force. He hadn't had any contact with McKirdy in many years; in fact, he wasn't certain that his old friend still lived in Edinburgh - or was even still alive, for that matter. He consulted a phone directory and found only one McKirdy with the correct initial. Jenkins was about to dial the number, but reconsidered. He was reluctant to be embarrassed calling a total stranger if this proved to be a wrong number. Deciding to think about it some more, Jenkins decided to continue on with a sight-seeing tour with his family. As fate would have it, however, the tour was canceled because there were too few participants.
Then Jenkins looked for a public phone so they could call their daughter, and found one near a taxi stand. While his wife made the call, Jenkins paced near the street. Just then, a taxi pulled up to discharge a passenger. By chance, Jenkins looked into the cab and could see the displayed name of the cab driver. Unbelievably, the driver of the taxi was his friend, McKirdy.
