Superstitions - Page 3

007 · 02-22-2007, 05:51 PM

I carry around my bo'suns whistle that is used to call hsifts in the navy. I've always carried it as my good luch charm. I also carry funeral prayer cards of my loved ones in my wallet.

I have a terible supersition of not going under ladders, because I'm scared someone will paint up my clothes just because I did! Is that normal?

That's the only supersition I have, butI carry my whistle and two white handkerchiefs. One for wiping my face, which is noticably tinted from the oils of my skin, and one very clean, pressed hadnkerchief in my suit jacket that is sprayed lightly with my West Indian Lime cologne, if a lady needs it, and it has happened before!

I'm not sure if this is suprstition, but I've never left my hosue without wearing my Omega Seamaster. It's welded to my wrist at all times. From sleeping, to showering, to working, to physical jobs to driving, to everything. It is WELDED to my wrist and have never really taken it off. Is this some superstition I don't know about? It was taken off once at a hospital, and the morons cut my clothes off of me! I was SOOO angry, because my clothes are all made on Savile Row and Jermyn Street in London. I tried to bill them, but they never responded. I hate hospitals.

Ya man, what's up with that? When I went to the hospital after my car wreck, with the flaps of skin hanging off my leg and the bone of my right leg sticking out, I was like, "Don't cut my NH t-shirt, it cost me $20 man!" and "Hey those are my brand new Target sandals! Do you have no appreciation for the price of things!"
Then they shoved a tube down my throat to pump the blood from my stomach, so I had to mumble incoherently

:-P

Each peson has their own thing with clothes. I'm a couture nut, all of my clothes are hand tailored, shirts by TUrnbull and Asser London and suits from Savile Row, it's the only thing I spend any money on whatsoever. I don't spend anything on food or entertainment, maybe an occasional CD or record, but my investments are my clothes and watches. My family thinks it is th stupidest thing, but they've never had a bespoke suit cut and made to their specifications.

I don't know, I'd just hate to be the poor guy cleaning it up. They shatter in such SMALL pieces, you NEVER get it up. uhhh, I mean, uhhh, you never get it up off the floor, I mean, uhhh, never mind.

ya, long story short, I had to clean up the backwindshield of my Jeep one time when it literally backed itself into someones horsetrailer...not fun, lets just say there wasn't a piece any bigger than an m&m...but then I suppose they are designed to do that
