Seriously? What are the Odds?

This is just a short but funny column on a common aspect of life, coincidence. Coincidences are oftentimes amusing, but as the author points out, just as often embarassing. I loved the little anecdotes Cavett uses to personalize the phenomenon and his use of humour and self-humiliation to relate to the readers.
In the matter of Freud's theory of "no accidents" I'd have to disagree. I'm pretty sure coincidences exist, I mean how can you explain the matching license plates described at the beginning of the column? The families had never met before, lived far away, and just happened to have the same license registration. Sure, you could say it was fate but I'm pretty sure Freud didn't believe in that either.
