WHEN ONE PASSES A GRAVEYARD THEY MUST HOLD THEIR BREATH
TILL THEY HAVE COMPLETELY PASSED IT BY.

Submitter comment: I DID THIS WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I DON'T KNOW WHERE I
LEARNED IT, AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
IF YOU DIDN'T. I DON'T BELIEVE IN IT, BECAUSE
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I PASS GRAVEYARDS
AND DON'T HOLD MY BREATH.
