Re: Old wives' tales.
A bird flying into the house foretells of a death.
Sleeping with a bar of soap in the bed prevents cramps.

Water that you have boiled eggs in will give you warts.

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

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.

Re: Old wives' tales.
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.
