POLE SPLITTING

A FRIEND OF MINE AND I WERE WALKING OUT OF A FUNERAL
HOME AND SHE WENT ONE WAY AROUND THE POLE AND I WENT
THE OTHER WAY. SHE GOT REALLY SCARED BECAUSE I SPLIT
THE POLE; SHE WAS SO UPSET THAT SHE WOULDN'T LET ME
REST UNTIL I WENT BACK AROUND THE POLE THE "RIGHT WAY."
SHE SAID IT'S BAD LUCK TO SPLIT A POLE, ESPECIALLY IN FRONT
OF A FUNERAL HOME.

Where learned: DETROIT ; FUNERAL HOME
