I don't have one, but my Dad was shot down (B17 waist gunner) on Friday the 13th, on his 13th mission.
So, one day I had gone over to Dad's and it was middle of the afternoon. He was sitting in his easy chair in his PJ's. I asked him, "Dad, are you feeling OK? Why are you in your pajamas in the middle of the afternoon?" Mom piped up, "It's Friday the 13th. He doesn't leave the house on Friday the 13th." Not a word from Dad. "Aw, Dad, you aren't superstitious, are you?" "No, damn it, but I don't believe in pressing my luck." |

I'm not superstitious either but if I went through that same experience I'd probably do the same thing. |

Friday the 13th, January 1995 Got a 3 day weekend in the Sandoval County Jail... You can't just leave us hanging like that! Out with it! I was in a remote rural area of Northern New Mexico. Had some beers with friends at the local watering hole. The county Deputies, at that time; never patrolled in that area after 5 or 6 in the evening. It was 40 miles to the nearest ones home. Well I guess they started the very first night shift in that area, cause one pulled me over. I was in the wrong, paid my dues.. learned my lesson. |

I own a small airplane. Last year on Fri the 13th, we set off on a flying vacation. The trip was plagued with problems. One after the other. I had a massive fuel leak, the transponder quit for no reason, the radio kept repeating what I said and what others said and we ended up working on the plane, then coming back home. It sucked.
The interesting thing was the radio issue. My audio system had a way to record ATC, so I could play it back. It went nuts and randomly played back radio chatter at inopportune times. It took me a while to figure that one out. Have not had a problem since. |
