Bumble Bee Beer

So I'm out today doing all the things I should've done during my three month break and a few things catch my eye. The first was an AA centre... I honestly didn't know that existed here. I remember my mum telling me a while ago that some place was by the AA, but I thought that it was a place where drunkards got together to drink (and didn't give their names out). But no, it's a proper AA, much to my surprise (according to the description they have on their banner).

Now, the second thing that caught my eye was the vehicle parked outside the AA. A Polar (beer) delivery truck. Hmmm... that makes sense. You see, the way AA works here is you sober up for a month, and then to celebrate that month of sobreity you get pissed with your AA mates. Then you start that vicious cycle over again. So you see... I was right with my first thoughts about AA in Venezuela.

The second thing I noticed was unnatural. We're heading over the Las Chimeneas (The Chimneys :P ) and there's a triple crash. To the right there's this car (sorry, I'm helpless with car types and brands) sandwiched between another car and a big truck (the truck in front). Needless to say the car in the middle was a horrific wreck. Then to the right (on the other intersecting lane) there was another treble. I didn't get to see this one in detail as I had spent most of my time checking out the other one (you know it's natural... everyone does it, hence why there are always jams when there are crashes... that and because nobody fucking cleans up!). I'm sure it was another three-car collision, though (the driver pointed that out). Then as we keep pushing forward there's another crash--this one between a car backing out from the lane with the previous crash and a car coming in that way. There's a possibility it could've been another triple crash, but I'm not sure (but I hope it was!). So there you have it, a hat-trick of treble crashes. What are the odds? Now, think of it... what are the odds that they all happened simultaneously? How kickarse would that be? (Yes, I am aware that the third crash happened as an effect to the second one, but hey, let's just have fun and not think about that!)

Now let's really play with odds. What are the odds those three crashes happened because the AA drunkards had just left their monthly anniversary party?
