This one comes from Jim Banholzer, a short, but funny story about a friend’s synchronicity.<\/p>\n

***
At first, my friend seemed excited by the concept of synchronicity when I mentioned your blog to him, and he told me a story about the end of a relationship. It was after his first year of college, and he was saying goodbye to his girlfriend when – out of the blue – a bird crapped on his forehead. Soon after that, they broke up, and he felt somewhat shat upon, so to speak.
***
Talk about a sign! But there’s more. So when the man, now a professor, went to our blog, he cautioned Jim about getting involved here, pointing out that the definition at the top of the page was not grammatically correct. He probably is opposed to the colon after ‘or.’<\/p>\n

We found that hilarious, at least the idea of warning a person away from a blog so as not to be associated with someone else’s grammatical error. Yikes! Yep, your career is toast, Jim!<\/p>\n

He then wondered if the prof’s reaction to our blog related to his renewed annoyance of that trickster synchronicity from long ago. Maybe he will come back and straighten out our grammatical problems. We can only hope! Or: not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
