Got You, /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
how about these then.

It is unlucky to start a cruise on Friday
This is the day Christ was crucified on.

Never start a voyage on the first Monday in April.
This is the day that Cain slew Able.

Black traveling bags are bad luck for a seaman

Avoid people with red hair when going to the ship to begin a journey.
Red heads bring bad luck to a ship, which can be averted if you speak to the red-head before they speak to you.

Disaster will follow if you step onto a boat with your Left Foot first.



Pouring wine on the deck will bring good luck on a long voyage.
A libation to the god

Throwing stones into the sea will cause great waves and storms.

Women on board a ship make the sea angery.

A naked woman on board will calm the sea.
This is the reason for naked figureheads.

The naked woman bit sounds feasable. Does it have to be any woman in particular (wifey) or will any do?

A naked woman who is not wifey will still placate the sea Gods, but may lead to a certain lack of serenity in SWMBO! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

While I do live by me own set of Col regs/Bad luck rules, I do not believe in the black cat myth.... and so....

While the rest of the human race are descended from monkeys, redheads derive from cats.

Must be cause I'm a sucker for redheads??????

If the human race decended from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys?

Well, probably some thought they were better off up in the trees and stayed there!
But not all 'em very well, still a large group of monkeys among 'us' people......

Others still may have muppet and donkey particles in their genes....

Hmm.Spilling wine on deck sounds familiar!

Re: new col regs!..RED HEADS???

Oh dear.....being a natural red head, will I now be avoided when I go on a ship/boat...what if nobody speaks to me first ??.... as I talk sooo much the probability is that I'd speak to someone before they speak to me....If my left foot goes on first then I really will be a disaster!...are there any cures or should I dye my hair colour?
