IT'S BAD LUCK TO GIVE SCISSORS OR KNIVES AS GIFTS TO FRIENDS OR
KIN. IT WILL SEVER YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
IT (IF) KNIVES OR SCISSORS ARE GIVEN, THE RECEIVER SHOULD
PAY THE PERSON GIVING THE GIFT A PENNY SO THEIR FRIENDSHIP
WILL NOT BE SEVERED.

WHEN TWO PEOPLE ARE WALKING TOGETHER AND COME UPON AN OBSTACLE
IN THEIR PATH (SUCH AS A CAR) WHICH CAUSES ONE TO GO ONE WAY
AND ONE THE OTHER WAY, THEY SHOULD SAY "BREAD AND BUTTER" TO
EACH OTHER. WHEN THEY MEET AFTER GOING AROUND THE OBJECT,
THEY SHOULD JOIN LITTLE FINGERS AND EACH MAKE A WISH. NOT A
WORD SHOULD BE SPOKEN UNTIL ONE OF THEM SAYS THE OTHER'S NAME
AND THEN THAT PERSON ANSWERS WITH THE NAME OF THE OTHER PERSON.
EXAMPLE: "JOHN?" "SUSAN?" THEN THEIR WISHES WILL COME TRUE.
