[Lethe]

When I was in Jr High living in a small town, a good friend of mine's much older sister had a boyfriend who lived in a city about 2.5 hours away. My buddy got word that the boyfriend had this new fancy cd burner in his computer and was going to get him to burn some CDs for him. CD burners had just recently come out, so of course I got my buddy to get me one burned too as I wanted to check them out, see what the quality was like, etc.

Fastforward about 10 years and I had just started a job as a Jr. Sys Admin for a consulting company. I quickly become pretty good friends with the Sr. guy I'm working with, and we get to chatting over beers one day and I mention my old friend's name. He kind of looks at me funny, and asks if he had a sister, which I confirm.

Turns out my new friend is actually the same guy who used to date my buddy's sister, and unknowingly burned me a CD on his 1x burner over 10 years earlier.
