An odd way to calculate a raise

Stevie Wonder has sung about how it's foolish to "believe in things that you don't understand..." Usually, this is true.  I know a former radio DJ who benefited from a manager's superstitious belief, however.  The DJ's pay was raised to $14.00 per hour.  His manager said, "It would have been 13 dollars an hour, but I didn't want to give you that because it's an unlucky number."

That's quirky, to say the least, but if I were on the receiving end, I wouldn't have argued.
