three old boyfriends were born
on September 6;
the probability of three on any
one date is about one in a
million.
after the last one, i decided
the third was not a charm;
i asked any potential
boyfriend what his birthdate
was.
may is far enough away from
september, so i am
happy.

inevitably, someone will give me the exact probability of three boyfriends being born on the
same date. just for clarity before i get deluged with messages, i'm assuming that the first one can be born on any date and that the probability has to do with two subsequent boyfriends being born on that particular date, so probability will only be 1/(365)^2. if you disagree, please correct me. ; )
