Games of Chance
Friday 5′ing a couple of days late since Hubby and I did a voluntary 48-hours of no-TV/no-PC.
1. Given as a percentage, approximately what are the chances that there is a french fry somewhere in your car? If you do not own a car, what are the chances that there is a french fry somewhere in the car you most frequently ride in?
Chances are pretty good, about 65%, that there is a fallen french fry tucked into a nook in my car. Whenever we happen to feel like some artery-clogging fare, we tend to drive-thru and eat in the car in the parking lot.
2. Given as a percentage, approximately what are the chances that you will eat ice cream sometime in the next four days?
40%. Although I love ice cream, I don’t have any in my freezer at the moment. If there were a carton of rocky road in there, the percentage would go up to a good 80%.
3. Given as a percentage, approximately what are the chances that you’ll get a personal, handwritten greeting in the mail sometime in the next week?
Pretty low. Probably 0%. If I did receive something in the mail that wasn’t a bill, it would be serendipitous indeed.
4. Given as a percentage, approximately what are the chances that there will be rain in your neighborhood within the next forty-eight hours?
About 45%.
5. Given as a percentage, approximately what are the chances that in the next twenty-four hours, you will be in the same room as a naked person other than yourself?
100%. It’s called marriage.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
