Here's a story about a guy with a lucky number.

[Bicoastal]

Steve Davis was born at 5 AM May 5th, 1955, and grew up in a house at 555 5th Street.

He went to PS. 55 as a child, went to Brown for 5 years to get his MA, then graduated and landed a job on 5th Avenue in New York City. He married a woman who was 5 ft 5 inches tall, and moved into the 5th floor of a Manhattan apartment building. Together, they had 5 children.

On his 50 birthday, he read in the newspaper that there was a horse named "Lucky Number Five" in the running at Saratoga. Sure enough, it was running in the 5th race of the afternoon, at approximately 5:55 PM.

Steve took a cab to the track, went to the window, and promptly placed $5,555.55 on "Lucky Number Five" to win, confident that the luck of his magical number would pay off.

And he was right....

Sure enough, the horse finished fifth.

1. After which, no doubt, Steve also

finished a fifth

Funny they didn't mention that his phone number was 555-1212 (which it was).
