The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
When the palm of your hand itches, this means money is coming
your way.
Submitter comment:
This informant strongly believes this saying. I heard him
yell out as he scratches the palm of his hand, "Money is coming
my way." I can't say I remember if money actually came his way
or not.
