Did anyone ever have their Mother tell them that when the ice cream van plays music it means they are out of ice cream?

If you see a magpie it’s bad luck not to salute and say “good day general.”
its bad bad luck to open an umbrella indoors.
also bad luck to hang a horseshoe upside down as all the luck runs out of it.
bad luck again to place shoes on a table or a hat on your bed.
Good luck to find a four leafed clover.“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”
