Oh, apart from the ladder. I still maintain that makes good sense. When we worked in London there was a pub in Earl's Court. We worked there for a while and the landlady was superstitious. We lived on the third floor so there were lots of steps and she had a thing about passing on steps being bad luck. She'd make us go all the way back down just so she didn't pass us on the steps. It was a good way of getting fit. I'm sure she used to time it on purpose!! My MIL is very superstitious but I usually forget about them and go about doing my thing. Oh, apart from the ladder.

My dogs are going to be thrilled when I get home. And I heard that about opals, but only once before. I like the spitting one myself. My dogs are going to be thrilled when I get home.

Or maybe that good luck was a device moms came up with to justify slicking the kids up with spit. :D And it seems to me like throwing salt into the devil's eye would piss him off, but oh well. :eek: Maybe that’s how moms got started slicking their kids up with spit, thinking it was good luck.
