CURIOUS.
It is curious to observe that persons who believe in luck and signs agree that it is unlucky if certain things happen to them on certain days. For instance, it is considered unlucky to be struck by lightning on Monday, or take hold of a circular saw in motion on Tuesday, or to tumble downstairs with a coal scuttle on Wednesday, or to be hit on the head by a steam crane on Thursday, or to fall overboard on Friday, or marry on a Saturday a girl who swings tenpound dumb bells, or to be one of thirteen at dinner on Sunday when there is only food for ten.
