I once attempted to hand a quarter to a convenience store clerk. Somehow we dropped it during the exchange. The coin rolled about 8 feet and went thru a tiny gap between two large cardboard boxes on the floor.

I'm sure I could have stood there for an hour attempting to drop a coin onto the floor and have it roll into that gap, and I would have failed.

I had a similar situation in which a coin I tossed managed to end up stuck in a small gap in the celling. I remember having to get up on a chair on top of a table (I must have been under 10 at the time) to get it out. Good times :)

The same is true for every possible outcome, that one just happened to be memorable.
