Who might be standing in the checkout lane today?
Ever wonder if the person in front of you, as you wait patiently, or impatiently, to check out of your favorite store with your groaning shopping cart full of goods, is a Nobel Prize Winner? Or maybe the recipient of a Pulitzer, or The Booker Prize, or perhaps the Palme d’Or, or even a recipient of a statue from The Academy, or a Golden Globe, or perhaps they may have qualified for a Fields Medal, or the Turing Award, or even the coveted Most Popular in my Neighborhood Award?
Yet, while it’s not beyond the mathematical and statistical range of probability it is highly unlikely they qualify for any of the citations mentioned, especially since the award for ‘Good Neighbor’ has yet to be established.
