Completely Unoriginal

Are you familiar with Jack Handey? This is from an article in the New Yorker entitled , "How things even out", by Jack Handey

"Maybe you find a nice flat pebble on a riverbank, and when you pick it up and throw it it skips across the water several times. But then the next pebble you can't even pry loose because, what is this, glue mud? You notice an ant drifting away on a leaf in the water. Then you look up to see your aunt drifting away in a rowboat.
Eventually, I believe, everything evens out. Long ago, an asteroid hit out planet and killed our dinosaurs. But, in the future, maybe we'll go to another planet and kill their dinosaurs.
... Still don't believe that things even out? Try this simple test: flip a coin, over and over again, calling out "Heads!" or "Tails!" after each flip. Half the time people will ask you to please stop."

I'm trying to find a way to incorporate this into a lesson plan. Hmmmm.....
