IF THREE PEOPLE LIGHT THEIR CIGARETTE, IT IS BAD
LUCK--THAT IS, IF IT IS OFF THE SAME MATCH.
Submitter comment:
THE INFORMANT SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THIS
TRADITION STARTED DURING WORLD WAR I. HE SAID
THAT IF THREE SOLDIERS GOT A LIGHT ON THE SAME
MATCH, THE ENEMY WOULD HAVE TIME TO SPOT THEM
BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT FLICKERING.
