Default Lucky 7

For you supersticious ones...we were actually able to get a 2 page story out of the fact that Saturday is a lucky day.
For caterers and casinos, a lucky No. 07-07-07
Personally; I think being herded through a ceremony to get as many people through as possible is far from being lucky.

And for Boeing, of course, 07-08-07 is the lucky day! Another opportunity to herd a lot of people around.

Yeah, numbers are funny things. Some folks look at 7-7-7 as a lucky day. At our plant, 777 is the emergency number; it's not exactly your lucky day if you have to call it.
