I heard this great story on the weekend that I had to share on here. A good friend of mine (Let's call him Eddy) went to a comedy club on the weekend. He was 'fortunate' enough to get a table close to the front. The show began and was very entertaining.
The cast started a new skit part way through the performance and the two main characters were named 'Eddy' and 'Susan' (Eddy's sister's name). Eddy thought that it was a funny coincidence and thought little more of it. As the skit progressed, the Eddy character on stage started speaking about his love of Golf, and all of the organizations that he belonged to, which matched exactly with real 'Eddy's' life.
