I wish they all could be California girls

On the east coast it seems like you have to pay a toll anytime you drive. With that in mind, a couple of months ago I was driving to pick up Erin from JFK and I passed through the toll booth and when I handed the man my money he started singing "I wish they all could be California girls" by the Beach Boys. (We still have California plates on Gus Gus.) Usually these tooth booth people are not the nicest and won't even look at you when they take your money. So I started laughing and for a second didn’t even care I had to pay my $5.50 toll. (Also an annoying thing because it use to be only $5.00.) Then on Sunday I drove to pick Ben up at LaGuardia airport. On my way there I passed the same toll booth and I had the same tooth booth worker and don't worry he sang that song to me one more time. What are the odds??
