Nine is a most frequent digit whenever I buy gas. Nine appears more often than any other number in the price. Today, it was $3.299 per gallon. Nine gallons is a typical fillup. When they ask me how much, I say, "Give me the whole nine yards".
Whenever I buy gas, nine times out of ten, even the weather is nice. Change one letter and another nine appears.
Good weather always leaves me feeling on cloud nine. How can this be? Well, I always avoid one - the loneliest number.
