- (continued from previous page)not a sign of bad luck.
You should never put your boots on the table of a Saturday because it is a sign of bad luck
You should never look at a new moon through glasses
You should never spill salt at a table without throwing some over the right shoulder
If a spoon falls is a sign of a woman calling
Your left hand itching is a sign of getting money
Your right hand itching is a sign of your going to be on strange land
Your ears burning is a sign of somebody talking about you
Your left eye itching is a sign of your going to laugh.
Your right eye itching is a sign of your going to cryA whistling woman and a crowing hen frightens the devil out of his den.If a picture falls off the wall and breaks it is the sign of a death in the family
