Get on any plane in the world, it's pretty unlikely that you know any of the passengers. It turns out to be extremely likely, however, that at least one of the passengers knows someone that you also know.

Does not happen any more though, my streak just ran out :) But I think if I use your approach, I may always find someone traveling who knows someone that I know.
