    I did not realize the US dollar bill was so unlucky.
    If you like, y'all can go ahead and send me your dollar bills and I will dispose of them for you...

    Oh, I don't think it's the Friday the 13th association that will cause this bill to crash and burn.

    You know... I was born on 'Friday the 13th'... And all the crap that I've gotten for it over the years was totally stupid. The number 13 is not that bad, and Friday is my favorite day of the week. Superstition is pointless.

    Not cool that Fidel Castro and I share something like that in common, but, hey... I was one cute baby and I don't intend to make a nation suffer through my crimes. Smiling If I ever commit any crimes at all.

    the one about the funerary procession is kind of foolish - if you were AT a funeral on that day, or you are one of many, many cars it passes on the way to the cemetery, then you'll be the next to die?

    surely that would amount to hundreds of people? and we all die eventually anyway. Maybe I'm just paranoid since I saw one on friday? (scary creepy music)
