One Degree of Separation

The world is indeed a small place!

George was working with Maria, a new nurse from New Zealand.

George: Hi, Maria, you sound like you're from New Zealand. We used to live there in Lower Hutt.

Maria: Oh, really? You sound American or Canadian.

George: I'm from Colorado in the US.

Maria: I used to work with a nurse from Colorado when I was in Auckland.

George: Tom Amick?

You can imagine the look on Maria's face when she heard that. It was indeed Tom Amick, who worked with George at PVH ten years ago. We just got off the phone with Tom, who didn't know Maria had moved to Oz.

Let this be a lesson to you - whatever you do, someone knows someone who knows you!
