Statistically Unlikely Events That Happened to Everyday People

Funny and creative ways to get the attention of the objects of our affection are pretty much a staple of elementary school escapades. I’ve witnessed young children performing deeds as impressive as collecting chewed-up bubblegum, deliberately getting detention, and writing acrostic poems.

Yet somehow, this effort absolutely eclipses all the other childlike achievements. It’s admirable for the ingenuity of its conception just as much as for the accuracy of its execution. I wonder what was written on the inside of the paper airplane because after getting it stuck in my teeth, I’d probably want to know why.
