PholkTales: Phishy Coincidences
This is a pretty short one but it's entertaining -- I suppose this story could also go under "Random Acts of Kindness." Let me set the stage -- VA Beach Amphitheater, summer tour of '99, and I had taken some paper before the show. 

After an incredible first set, everybody in my group decides to walk around during the setbreak. I decide to just stay put on the lawn and passively soak in the scene around me. During this time, I get a strangely intense craving for a piece of candy -- not just any candy, but hard candy, like a Jolly Rancher. 

As I'm thinking about this, a kid walks by and hands me something -- it happened so quick that I didn't even see what it was so that I could thank him for it. What was it, you ask? None other than a piece of fine, fine candy -- a Jolly Rancher! I couldn't believe it. If I was actually tripping REALLY hard I would have doubted myself, but I wasn't, so I knew this was for real! I unwrapped it, ate it, internally thanked the dude, and prepared myself for a raging second set! 

I bet this guy had no idea he made me so happy by doing that -- I guess it just goes to show that the act of giving is always a good thing, and it'll make somebody happy no matter how insignificant it may seem. If you're out there, thanks bro!
