On strike

Q: I've often heard the expression 'Lightning never strikes twice.' This is confusing because my mate Tom has been struck 57 times.

(Also, we've got a pool going down at the bar - what kind of odds would you give for the 58th strike?)


A: If your friend has really been hit 57 times, he obviously possesses rare lighting-attracting properties. Perhaps he's made of metal? Is it possible he's a robot?

I'd give full odds he'll be hit again if he leaves the house.
