PROVERBS: MONEY
"WHEN THE RIGHT HAND ITCHES YOU WILL LOSE MONEY, WHEN THE LEFT
HAND ITCHES YOU WILL GET MONEY." THE REASONING BEHIND THIS IS THAT
WE OFTEN TAKE OUR WALLET FROM A POCKET WITH OUR LEFT HAND AND WE
REACH INTO THE WALLET TO HAND OUT THE MONEY WITH OUR RIGHT HAND.
WHEN RECEIVING THE MONEY WE PUT IT IN OUR BILLFOLD WHICH IS IN OUR
LEFT HAND.
Submitter comment:

A COMMON BELIEF AND SAYING OF EARLIER DAYS.
