> Many years ago, I would buy $5 worth of gasoline, and two 16-ounce soft drinks. The total would sometimes (depending upon the store) be $6.66. Every time that happened, I wanted to burst forth with some kind of demonic laughter, but I never did.

When I had my first bike I used to fill it up and try to round the cost up to a nice round number.

first time I didn’t it cost £6.66 (never thought about it till my brother said I should have put an extra penny on it for luck) - coincidentally that was the first time I crashed my bike - the date also was freaky - on Friday 13th. Thank god I never hit a black cat or I would never have left the house again…:smack:
