Coincidence

Jena tells Bill she got bad luck from an email. Bill has rational explanations.

...

Jena: I got an email, a chain email, that said if you don’t pass this on in 6 minutes something unpleasant will happen.

Bill: What rubbish.

Jena: Rubbish, yes. Especially when it seemed to come from some inspirational charlatan speaker, you know the kind.

Bill: Don’t send any of those chain mails to me. Unless they’re in a good cause. Trash ‘em.

Jena: I did. Then tonight something unpleasant did happen. I was eating some nuts and leaned over the balcony, and cracked a tooth and lost it.

Bill: It fell down 22 floors?

Jena: I guess. Only I couldn’t find it on the ground. Maybe the wind took it. I almost started believing that chain mail.

Bill: Coincidence. You didn’t eat nuts because you read the letter. The nuts broke your tooth, not the letter. And everyone has something annoying happen everyday.
