All night long a guy dreams about the number five. He awakens in the
morning and sees 5:55 on the clock. When he goes to the kitchen he sees the
5th of March on the calender. Reading the news paper, he notices a horse
named "Mr. Five by Five" running in the fifth race. It comes to him like a
bolt from the blue; he calls his bookie and bets five hundred  dollars on
the horse to win. The horse comes in FIFTH.

*His bookie changed his name to "Red Cross" so his customer's losses would
be tax deductible* :>)
