SUPERSTITION
WHEN A FORK FALLS, A MAN AND WOMAN WILL VISIT YOU; WHEN A KNIFE
FALLS, A MAN WILL VISIT YOU; WHEN A SPOON FALLS, A WOMAN
WILL VISIT YOU.
Submitter comment:
THE FORK REPRESENTING A COUPLE CAN REFER TO THE TONGS ON THE
FORK, THE KNIFE SIGNIFIES A MAN'S STRENGTH. THE SPOON MAY REPRESENT
THE FEMININE GENTLENESS, SINCE ONLY SOFT FOODS OR LIQUIDS ARE
EATEN WITH A SPOON.
THESE ARE THEREFORE SYMBOLS.
