This strange story isn’t exactly a synchronicity, but it’s an unlikely scenario. It shows how great desire for something can overcome all odds. You could call this guy lucky, but it’s something more than that. An ineffable factor came into play and the odds no longer mattered.<\/p>\n

Here’s the story. Brian McGuinn, who lives in suburban Fort Lauderdale, accidentally threw away his wife’s $10,000 ring when he tossed out an old razor blade. His wife had just handed him the ring as she stepped into the shower, and asked him to put it in her jewelry box. It never made it.<\/p>\n

McGuinn didn’t realize his mistake until the next morning, but by then Waste Management had collected the garbage. The ring, it seemed, was lost forever…or was it?<\/p>\n

Distraught, Anna McGuinn called the company that processes the garbage and was told that her husband could come and search. Which he did. The plant manager figured out where the ring most likely would be, based on where that neighborhood’s trash was dumped. Then he got McGuinn a protective suit and goggles.<\/p>\n

“It was absolutely disgusting. It stunk beyond belief. The smell was God-awful. Everything unsanitary you could think of crossed my path at least a couple times.” McGuinn recalled in an interview with the Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, within 30 minutes, McGuinn spotted something shiny surrounded by black sludge sticking out between brown bags. “It looked like a screw and I reached down and it looped around my index finger. I was ecstatic. It was probably one of the best moments ever.”<\/p>\n

McGuinn let out a whoop that was heard across the landfill. He went home and took a very long shower, and even scrubbed his skin with toothbrushes.<\/p>\n

What are the chances?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
