Take the Next Boat
When my grandmother was a kid she and her family would take a ferry to this beach house island off the coast of Long Island. Well, one year as they were about to get on the ferry they realized that they had forgotten a bowl of potato salad for their island picnic.
So they went back to get it and they had to take the next ferry. Well turns out the ferry they missed sunk and everyone on board passed away. That potato salad saved my grandmother’s life and thus saved mine. Thanks, potato salad.
