    3 Drains!!

    I’m not superstitious at all but last night after a hard day's contracting me and a fellow contractor were walking down the road when I noticed he side stepped a set of 3 drains. I also avoid walking on 3 drains. I asked him why he did it and it’s because of the exact reason I do it. One of his past girlfriends avoided them and because of this he found himself now avoiding 3 drains!!! Anyone else on here do that??

        A lot of ex-servicemen wouldn't take the third light for their fag: WW1 folklore had it that a sniper would spot the first flare of the match, sight on the second and shoot the third...
        Blog? What blog...?

            What do you mean by 3 drains?

            We only have one drain at a time up here - is this another north/south divide thing again you drain mungerring fascists?

              Wow I often wondered why it was considered unlucky, nice
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                Were you hopping and skipping down the road hand in hand you big cissies.

                Now if there had been a steaming (dog)turd on the drains I could understand it but to avoid them because an ex-girlfriend used to do it is a bit wet.

                  Yes - Mrs. Faqqer started me off on it many years ago, and it's too late to stop now. Glad I'm not alone out there...

                    My missus does it too (ay ay).. and a girl I used to work with, if she noticed she had walked over one used to turn around three times and then spit. Nice
