I, for one, am a huge believer that truth is stranger than fiction. For example, the Quebec Nordiques hockey team moves to Colorado to become the Avalanche. An old slang for French Canadians is "Pepsis". Guess who sponsors the arena in Denver when the "Pepsis" move there ... you've got it; PepsiCo. So the Pepsis are playing at the Pepsi centre :). Here's another one, but with an Addis Ababa flavour. I am auditing the IBEX financial system for MoFED. Somewhere in Addis there is a place called the IBEX Institute where one can study hotel management. Guess what my wife teaches at Algonquin ... you got it ... hotel management. He's auditing IBEX and she's teaching a subject that is the concentration of the IBEX Institute. Who would'a thunk :) |
