   Superstitions.
   Marry in May and You'll rue the day.

   (Days to Marry):-
   Monday for Health, Tuesday for Wealth
   Wednesday the best day of all.
   Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses
   and Saturday, no luck at all.

   Christenings:-
   Monday's child is fair of face
   Tuesday's child is full of grace
   Wednesday's child is merry & glad
   But Thursday's child is sorry @ sad
   Friday's child is loving and giving
   And Saturday's child must work for a living
   But the child born on the Sabbath day is blithe
   and bonny & good & gay.

   There was a man wan time and he dreamt of money being buried in a certain spot. He searched and searched for it but he couldn't find it. He said to himself wan day, "I will have another try anyhow". So he searched again and what did he find but a hen's nest, and four eggs in it. On the eggs there wor four shamrock and the year 1796 marked on 'em. I dont know whether he brought 'em home and boil'd 'em or not.
