4.04 Why is there never a number six? (Friends)
1. Often on lists sent to the Friends mailing lists you will notice that
number six is missing.
2. Sometimes it is there but it has some quip like "there is no number
six" or somesuch.
3. The origins of this practice come from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
4. Specifically, the Bruce's Sketch.
5. Their list never had a number six.
6. There is no number six.
7. I (Andy) started using this years ago and it became habit.
8. Other people on the list picked it up.
9. To date, the only person who has used a number six (that I know of) is
Jeff Greenstein.
10. Is that a sign?
