    The best days for getting married:-
    Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses
    Saturday no look at all.
    Grave Digging
    Some people would not dig a grave on Tuesday because they believe some misfortune would come to them. If they were obliged to dig, they would start on Monday and finish on Tuesday.
