...only if you break a mirror while walking underneath a ladder... otherwise it's just bad luck.

When I was younger I spilt some salt on my Grandmas table. She told me to through some salt over my shoulder for good luck

the ladder forms a triangle with the floor and the wall, the triangle represents the holy trinity, by walking under the ladder you have violated the holy trinity and must therefore be in league with the devil.
don't worry handh, it's not seven years bad luck......................you'll probably just get burned at the stake.
there, bet that's cheered you up lol

Putting shoes on the table.
When you have just come out of the filthy bloody street or somewhere, don't even think about it

Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
:shock: :shock: yeah right dunno

Spit on a new bat before using it for the first time to make it lucky :shock: and then watch the feckere bite you for spitting on it, bats also carry Rabies :shock:
