Have Faith

February 13, 2009

Freaky Friday?

Happy friday the 13th all... Don't let any black cats cross your path... Unless you're a witch... then It's Okay. As long as it's your cat.

There's a lot to be said about superstition.. But who Am I to say it? I' like to quote Groucho Marx with his interpretation of various superstitions:

  • when a person's nose itches, it's a sign that it should be scratched.
  • a black cat crossing you path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.
  • Thirteen at the table is unlucky when the hostess has only 12 chops.
  • Singing before breakfast is a forewarning of a fight with the neighbor - if the neighbor is trying to sleep late.
  • Throwing salt over the shoulder is likely to give the impression that the man who throws the salt has dandruff.
  • finding a four leaf clover is a sign that you have been down on your hands and knees.
  • To get out of bed on the wrong side probably means you had too much the night before.
  • To carry a rabbits foot is a sign that you are a good shot with a gun - or have a friend who is.
  • when tree men get a light of one match it is indicative of the fact that they only have one match... or are scotsmen.
