2-Power of Number 9
One day, on 9/9/99, a man woke up at 9:09
a.m. in the morning, jumped on Bus #99 and went to his favorite restaurant
on 9th Street. When the cashier rang up his order, it totaled $9.99.
"Oh, wow, this is an omen!" the
man said, so he bought a pair of cheap binoculars at the 99¢ store, pulled
out 99 cents in fares and took Bus #99 to the Race Track. As he approached
Gate No 9, he said to the ticket agent: "I would like to bet $999.99
on Horse No 9 in the 9th race."
"Why those particular numbers?" the ticket agent asked.
"Nine seems to be my lucky number
today," the man said excitedly. "I'm really on a roll!"
Feeling confident, he sat through the first
eight races until Race No. 9 came up.
His horse No 9 came 9th.
