I was walking
down the street the other day when I saw my buddy Matt.
I walked up
to him and mentioned that I had the most bizarre dream the night before
last.
Matt 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." It was made of gold and sparkled with
diamonds.
Matt's curiosity
was peaked. I went on to say that the first thing that I did in the morning
was to grab the daily
racing digest
and look up the fifth race.
Matt raised
an eyebrow. So I told him that the #5 horse in the fifth race was named
"The Fifth Element."
Matt started
grinning. Then I told Matt point-by-point what I did that day.
- I ate five
bowls of cereal for breakfast and drank five cups of coffee
- I went for
a five mile jog to clear my head
- I took a
five minute shower
- I dressed
in the fifth suit I found in my closet
- I sat in
my car for five minutes before starting it up
- I drove
to the racetrack and parked in the fifth stall in the fifth row
- I entered
through the fifth admissions gate
- I bought
five programs
- I went to
the fifth betting window and bet $555 on the fifth horse in the fifth race
- I went and
sat in the fifth row of the bleachers making sure there were five people
sitting on either side of me.
I settled
in and waited for the race to start. "Well," said Matt. "Did the horse
win?"
I frowned
at Matt and said, "Stupid horse came in fifth."
