Today 4 red cars in a row went by - today was a good day.


Young has set me the task of evaluating the above sentence. It rings a bell, but I can't remember the context. Any help? Email me if you know the answer. Google, Altavista, Yahoo have all proved fruitless.

- the bloke who sells red paint at Halford's?

- a mindless optimist for whom every day is good regardless of the banality of actual events?

Just since a few folks asked and Dan hasn't bothered explaining
 
The fact that 4 cars in a row went by and the fact that today was a good day do not need to have any bearing on each other. The day was not good because the 4 red cars in a row went by, it just hapened that today was a good day and also 4 red cars in a row went by. Although it isn't something you see everyday, when you do see it it doesn't make it a good day. Most days I wouldn't even notice if 4 red cars in a row went by. In fact I don't ever remember seeing 4 red cars in a row go by.
