PEG CLIMBING coincidence

PEG CLIMBING coincidence

My girlfriend and I were watching a fantastic game show from Japan. It’s an obstacle course type thing that contestants have to finish. It was really interesting, with obstacles such as running over floating balls, swinging from a vine, climbing a spinning wind mill, and a couple of other neat feats of agility. I loved this show! And this was only part 1, I couldn’t wait for part 2. This was going to be very exciting. But we didn’t know when part 2 was going to be on.

A week or so later, I was bragging to Nefta, my girlfriend about how I used to be the only one, of all my friends, that was able to climb the peg board in the gym. When I used to work out in high school, there was a peg board in the gym, and everyone that tried to climb it to the top…failed; except for me. I was able to climb it all the time. I was very strong back then, and in amazing shape. So I was saying this to my girlfriend one night, bragging about my athletic prowess back then.

THE VERY NEXT DAY, we turn on the TV and the second part of that Japanese Game Show is on! Oh joy! We watch the show and see that they have all different events for part 2. Gone are floating balls and swinging vine and wind mill. As soon as I saw the new obstacle I immediately bolted up and yelled “THE PEGS!! THE PEGS!! I CAN CLIMB THE PEGS!!! WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY!”

Yes indeed, one of the new obstacles was the Peg Board. Chalk that one up as another of our coincidences.

As for the show, the funniest part was when this one guy was on the peg board. He pulled out the peg in his right hand, then he pulled out the left peg….BEFORE inserting the right peg. Needless to say gravity doesn’t work that way, you can’t float there with BOTH pegs pulled out of the holes. I laughed hysterically when he fell.
