  1. The people long ago would have certain days for bad luck and good luck. They used to say that Tuesday was for crosses and that Friday was for losses and Saturday for bad luck and Sunday for good luck. Once upon a time a man he would get married on Saturday and he would see would he have bad luck. Anyhow he lived happy for a while. Then he got into bad health and he was never right for his lifetime. People in the olden days wanted to see things out.
