It was Friday, the 13th. An older American man and a young American teenager, had stopped at a gas station To fill their gas tanks. The older American was waiting for the Young person to get done, than he would fill his tank. The old man was talking to the young man, asking how to use this modern digital pump? Neither of them understood the other. Although they both spoke English, it wasn’t the same language. When the young man finished, he got into his car a drove off.
The older man entered the building and was asking how to use new pump. The girl at the counter was from an Asian country and really never understood English very well. She held out her hand to the old man and was saying eighteen dollah please. The man didn’t understand what she was saying and another person in the store, told him she wanted $ 18.00 for the gas.
I did not buy any gas as, was his reply, I do not know how to operate the gas pump. Since neither could make the other, understand, the police were called and the old man was carted off to the police station. The person that explained, what the girl behind the counter was saying, slipped away with his goods without paying for them. One of the police-men that came, took an apple from the display and put it in his pocket. Unknown to him, the apple in his pocket, is wormy.
Three women started a fight in the back area of this little store, When the cashier went to the back of the store to see what the problem was, she was grabbed by someone and kissed and she was yelling rape. A man dressed in dark clothing, took money from the cash register and ran.
The young man that drove away, had stopped to see a friend and was telling his friend , how he had gotten a tank of gas free and he was really feeling proud of himself. Unknown to him, the friends mother over heard the conversation and she called the police.
The police called the gas station owner and they all met at the gas station and after a fashion they got the matter straightened out. The girl was let go and told to come back when she understood English. The old man was shown how to operate the gas pump and given gas, free of charge,
The young man was carted off to jail. His drivers license was taken away and when he gets out of jail he will no longer have a car to drive. The friend that he stopped to see, decided he would not try for free gas and he became a lawyer and was elected to be a Judge of the county court system. His pretty wife became a country club stripper and everyone wanted to get close to her.
The old man went home, kicked off his shoes and sat down in his easy chair. His girl friend ordered pizza, while rubbing the old mans feet and back. She slid some $5.00 ,$10.00 and $20.00 dollar bills from his wallet, into her purse without him noticing it.
When the pizza arrived, she answered the door. The old man got up to pay for the pizza, but he couldn’t find his billfold. She said she would pay for the pizza and took money from her purse.
Unknown to her, there was photo mixed in with the bills, and she gave it to the delivery boy. Later, the door bell rang again. The old man got up to answer the door and the delivery boy handed the photo back to him.
The old man picked up his knife…..rubbed the edge of the blade to check how sharp it was, then he cut another piece of the pizza and sat back down again. She watched him, thinking he knew something, and she had better be getting out of there.

Now that you have read this little story, Which of the people in the story do you think was the luckiest or un-luckiest? And was there more lucky people or more un-lucky people. We all know that being Lucky is a matter of timing. Some say, a person makes their own luck! Some cheat……………
Hard to remember the last time I was lucky, I think the last time I won anything, was way back in 1944 or 1945. I put a nickel in a slot machine and won a handful of nickels. I wonder where they went ?
