Weird coincidences

Last night I had a strange dream. In my dream I was walking to the train station, as I do most mornings, when I decided to steal a manhole cover. I managed to conceal it on my person until I was on the train, when I hid it under the seat.

The really strange thing is this (subscription required, sadly). Apparently Pointe Claire, the next village over from us, has suffered a spate of manhole cover thefts in the last couple of days.

If I wasn’t a skeptic, I might think I was psychic, that I’d had a premonition or a vision. Of course, that’s nonsense; It’s just one of those weird and freaky coincidences. Either it’s a completely random coincidence, or I subconsciously overheard someone talking about the thefts yesterday. Or maybe I’ve been sleepwalking and stealing manhole covers.

No, it was a totally psychic episode. The only way to prevent them is to wear your tin-foil hat when you sleep.

It’s probably less of a premonition than a Freudian dream about stealing someone’s virginity. Was that in the paper too?
