At the Wash 'n' Fold this afternoon:

Sweet Young Thang:  (Handing me my laundry) That'll be $17.76, please.
Me:  My favorite number!
SYT:  (Handing me my change)  $2.23 is your change... and is 1776 really your favorite number?
Me:  One of 'em.  Coz it ain't every year a great country is founded now, izzit?
SYT:  (Flash of recognition, followed by a brilliant smile)  Oooh...smaaart!

Well, I guess.  In certain circles.
