Koohii stories:

1) [Deborah] 27-10-2007(127): An OLD TASKMASTER is no happenstance (coincidence). The older you get the more rigid in your ways.

2) [misha] 23-7-2007(51): Need to disambiguate from enemy (#443 敵) as it's easy to mix up antique and old here. Let's think of an accidental president – he is an old taskmaster who has managed to win the election by happenstance .

3) [binky] 29-7-2009(30): Only an old taskmaster uses a stupid word like "happenstance" instead of the many less pretentious synonyms for luck or chance.

4) [dogray77] 22-1-2008(30): It's not just a happenstance that the taskmaster looks old before his time.

5) [meredithcat] 4-4-2010(18): I recently ran into my old taskmaster purely by happenstance.
