Old Wives Tales

[nacktman]

There are a lot of "Old Wives Tells" out there so let's hear a few?!

At the moment we're experiencing the phenomena of a tremendous downpour from a thunderstorm under the light of a brightly shining sun.

It's going to be a strange few days for the next week!

What "Tales" do you have to tell?

If you cross your eyes and there's a loud noise, you'll become cross-eyed for life.

Putting butter on a skin burn and throwing spilled salt over your left schoulder to ward off evil.

Using your (ahem!) hand will
a) stunt your growth
b) cause you to go blind
c) give you hairy palms

If your dropped toast lands butter side down, you will have visitors

If a black cockatoo flies up the gully it's going to rain.

You guys in the USA don't have black cockatoos so I wonder where your rain comes from ?????

Magpies! If a magpie leaves the fence post and flies infront of your car it will storm sometime soon.

But, you omit the six-second rule. If you pick it up in six-seconds or less, it's ok to brush it off and eat it.

I wonder if that makes your upcoming visitors run into a ditch?

Naw, those 'visitors' are usually ants!

I guess the Old Wives Tell about the thunderstorm in the sunshine is a tad off, we had a solid week of thunderstorms and now we are into a solid week of bright sun with temps hovering around the century mark ... and DRY.

So I'm wondering if the one week thingy is a wee short for the strange days?!

If you masturbate, black hairs will grow on the back of your hand.
