Today's ghastly groaner

There was a man who believed 5 was his lucky number.

It was understandable as he was born May 5, 1955, had five brothers and five sisters and lived at 555 W. Fifth Avenue.

On his 50th birthday he was reading the horse racing sheets when he noticed there was a horse named Quinto running in the race with odds of 5-1.

He immediately jumped up and ran down to the race track where he bet $5,000 on the horse to win.

AND THE HORSE CAME IN FIFTH.
