    "If a bird poos on your house, you'll be rich".

    Is there any house in the world a bird hasn't pooed on?

      Yeah but oddly enough, look how many Rich Russians there are now after all those years of taking a lot of 'poo'

    #11:
    In Japan, if a hearst passes you by, or you walk by a graveyard, you must tuck your thumbs in to protect your parents. This is because the Japanese word for thumb literally translates as "parent-finger" and so by hiding it you are protecting your parents from death.
    Were they talking about Patty or Randolph?

    Well those are new ones for me.

    I live in the south and a few I always heard:

    Bury a wash cloth and you will get visitors (I guess for those that are lonely)

    Cats will try to steal a baby's breathe

    The reason a snake stills moves after you kill it is because the devil is in it, leave it alone until after sundown, then bury it

    If the sun is shining while it is raining, the devil and his wife are arguing. (I did not know the devil had a wife and I was never given an answer as to who she was)

    I could probably think of even more.

    There was a Russian businessman who made a fortune selling a stain remover that he invented after a bird pooped on his suit.
