I always loved this one! What’s even a bit more weird is the fact that, prior to Christianity, the number 13 was a “lucky number”. Go figure………..

“I’m staying at a hotel and it doesn’t have a 13th floor ’cause of superstition. But c’mon, people on the fourteenth floor, you know what floor you’re really on. If you jump out of the fourteenth floor window hoping to kill yourself, you will die earlier.”
