Yeah I thought that was somehow supposed to be the punchline
Is there a punchline?
is there a superstition about walking under ladders?
To be fair, it's one of the more reasonable superstitions considering the potential of being hit by a heavy falling object.
absolutely, yeah. there's still a lot of construction folks/builders that refuse to do it. usually the same folks that have superstitions about tools (like never hand someone an unfolded pocket knife, no matter how safely you do it)
There's a really weird thing in the Southeastern US where people will hand you pocketknives with the blade out always and you can't hand it back closed. I don't understand it.
Breaking mirrors, in this economy??
