Maude do you realise that Ingmar Bergman <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Died on the same day as Michelangelo Antonioni<\/p>\n\n\n\n
July 30th 2007 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both were famous film directors <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that Natalie Wood and Diana Rigg <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were born on the same date <\/p>\n\n\n\n
July 20th 1938<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both were famous actresses <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have not been doing much lately<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you Ralph <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mathematics of Coincidence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is an interesting area of study <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coincidences go unnoticed every day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chap who sat opposite you on the tube today<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joined Peters Valiant on the day you left <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like yours his dad was called Peter <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And both were educated in Woking <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are both the third of five children <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are just looking for similarities <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have a middle name Maude <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Catherine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have nothing in common <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have a middle name <\/p>\n\n\n\n
David <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was your mothers first name <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Catherine I was named after her<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was your mothers maiden name <\/p>\n\n\n\n
David <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I rest my case <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you ever go out Ralph <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know and mix with other people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know I do <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are they all mathematicians <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not nice Maude <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have a cobra tongue <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What connects Richard Perry and Hugh Sweete <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were both killed by a cobra on the same day in 1908<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is that a coincidence <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coincidence is that they were both educated at Harrow <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between 1898 and 1901 and were left handed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are clutching at straws <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Possibly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When was the last time you used a straw <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sunday <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sunday <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
