Lucky number 5

"The Lucky Number 5"<br /><br />I was walking down the street the other day<br />when I saw my buddy Doug. I walked up to<br />him and mentioned that I had the most bizarre<br />dream the night before last. <br /><br />Doug listened intently as I told him that the dream consisted of one thing and one thing only. So I told him that all I had dreamt about was a huge glowing number "5." <br />It made of gold and sparkled with diamonds.<br /><br />Doug's curiosity was peaked. I went on to say<br />that the first thing that I did in the morning was<br />to grab the daily racing digest and look up the<br />fifth race. <br /><br />Doug raised an eyebrow. So I told<br />him that the #5 horse in the fifth race was<br />named "The Fifth Element." Doug started<br />grinning. Then I told Doug point-by-point what<br />I did that day.<br /><br />- I ate five bowls of cereal for breakfast and<br />drank five cups of coffee.<br /><br />- I went for a five mile jog to clear my head.<br /><br />- I took a five minute shower.<br /><br />- I dressed in the fifth suit I found in my closet.<br /><br />- I sat in my car for five minutes before starting<br />it up.<br /><br />- I drove to the racetrack and parked in the<br />fifth stall in the fifth row.<br /><br />- I entered through the fifth admissions gate.<br /><br />- I bought five programs.<br /><br />- I went to the fifth betting window and bet<br />$555 on the fifth horse in the fifth race.<br /><br />- I went and sat in the fifth row of the bleachers<br />making sure there were five people sitting on<br />either side of me. I settled in and waited for the<br />race to start.<br /><br />"Well," said Doug. "Did the horse win?"<br /><br />I smiled at Doug and said, "Of course not,<br />he came in fifth."
