It's a Small World

My husband and I grew up in Canada. After receiving his Chartered Accountant degree Jim went to work for a company that manufactured and sold soda pop by the case. In 1975 we emigrated to The United States of America as the soda company was expanding to the US. After about four years, Jim left that company and was hired by a restaurant company. On his first day on the job the founder's son was showing him around and during the course of their conversation learned that we were from Canada. Knowing only one person from Canada, Scott said, "Oh I went to college with a guy from Canada!" Now Canada is a large country, and the US is even larger in population, and the college is in Florida and we were from Alberta. And now living in Colorado. What were the chances? But Jim politely asked the college friend's name. Scott answered, "Bob ***". Dumbstruck, Jim exclaimed, "Bob ***!!" It so happened that Bob, who worked for his family's business in Canada, supplied the soda company with the plastic cases for the bottles. Jim and Bob knew each other very well. What were the chances... It seems that it is very small after all.
