Six degrees of separation, as you probably know, is the theory that anyone on earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries. An interesting concept, however as this is conversation, I thought I’d make it into a frivolous one-upmanship parlour game…
For instance, I once met a guy who had spoken to Hitler. I find that quite freaky. He was in the camps, of course. My sister met Rolf Harris… hmmm, slightly less impressive… I can do Bill Clinton in two… and Christopher Biggins once smiled at me, which I think tops anything anyone else might come up with…
Ok, so can you beat that?!
(An additional thought that interests me- did you ever fly from London to New York, only to meet the guy who works in your local deli as soon as you stepped off the plane?) |
