    I once saw a guy get struck by lightning. Well I didn’t see it exactly since it was blindingly white followed by some moments of confusion. But one minute I was talking to him from across the street. He was under a palm tree about to get into his car. The next minute I was on the ground, he was on the ground, the top of the palm tree was charred and on fire, and on closer inspection the tires of his car were melted to the driveway. Not a cloud in the sky, so obviously the “May lightning strike me if…” jokes haven’t stopped near 20 years later.

    My neighbor? He's fine. He was deaf for a few days and weirdly the palms of his hands were burned but it doesn't seem like there were long-term effects.

    I once saw a barmaid singing along to a popular song, and jump onto a table while singing. The whole bar joined in, singing and dancing. Moments after the song ended, my friends came back into the room, where everything was back to normal, and they didn't believe that anything had happened!

    I once saw a good guy shoot the Evil insurance CEO that was responsible for thousands of deaths and endless suffering.

    When I was a kid, I fell asleep on a camping trip after eating way too much candy, and a relative got a picture of me with a humming bird examining my mouth. Literally, "Honk, shoooo, mimimimi..." I was so bummed out that I missed it.

  • In a similar vein, I was at a baseball game once when I felt something yank on my hair. I whipped my head around to find a hummingbird hovering next to me that had apparently mistaken my hat for a flower, stuck its beak into one of the holes on top, and pulled on my hair.

    There's a trope about people and their dogs looking alike: I once saw a three legged dog being walked by a person with a leg cast.

    Is this a philosophical question or a mental health question?

    I was going for a line in Oliver and company, but it didn’t land
