fear of numbers Don't get me started OK again twenty-first century america people who make the iPod people who launch the saturn Five rocket this is the country we live in except eighty percent of all the buildings on Broadway in manhattan I could have done it for any street but I did it for Broadway eighty percent have panels that look like this there is no thirteenth floor Not only was that true in eighty percent of the buildings in New York it's true of this hotel So what does it say for our future when we have people afraid of a number What does that mean I don't know but it scares the hell outta me not only that we fear negative numbers why do you have to go into a elevator of a tall building and it's five four three two lobby S SB SSB can I buy a vowel please I don't know what the hell these things are They're afraid to go negative just say negative one negative two negative three People are afraid to do that They're afraid to do that on financial ledgers The number is in parentheses It's like what's your problem We got a symbol for this it's called negative So I worry that too many of us fear numbers for the future of America
