It’s always been my lucky day–what, maybe once or twice a year anyhow. So I saw a doe as I was driving uptown this morning and she stopped by the side of the road and waited until I went by. That’s lucky.
Then at CVS I picked up a prescription and was rewarded with those $10 free bucks (given after 5 scrips filled) and on the way out found tee-shirts 4/$10.00. Picked out four for Jim, went up to the register and the girl rang them up for $7.50. I pointed out the error and she said that no, two of them rang up at $1.25 each. So I ran back and picked up two more for me and ended up paying $1.25 for 6 tees.
Superstition doesn’t end at picking lucky dates, of course; things have to happen in groups of three. A phone call completed the charm.
