A bird flying into the house foretells of a death.

Sleeping with a bar of soap in the bed prevents cramps.

..and maybe more - my egg supplier doesn't wash the eggs before I get them, and chickens have only one 'exit hole' for everything.

You should look into that statement deeper, have about how an egg pops out

How a Hen Lays Her Egg

That's what I said, diddle I?
"Chickens, as well as other birds, have a common opening for reproduction, and for the evacuation of stools and urine". = one exit hole
Interesting link thanks.

Re: Old wives' tales.

You can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Sweets and chocolate causes acne.

If cows are lying down in the field it will rain soon.

If your left palm itches money's coming to you, and the reverse if it's your right palm.

You can catch polio from playing in muddy puddles.

Never sweep up after dark, someone will be dead by morning.

Put a penny in your shoe for good luck.

Always put the opening of pillowcases away from the door, to prevent nightmares.

Never whistle near a churchyard.

another one for itchy palms......if your right palm itches...'rub it on wood, makes it good'

Ears itching:- left for love, right for spite, but changes over at night.
