I have not seen this for a while maybe my wishing caused it to go away.
If someone spilt the salt from the salt shaker the custom was to take a pinch of salt and throw it over your left shoulder.
Why?
Because spilling the salt firstly was bad luck but throwing it over the shoulder was thought to throw it in the eye of the devil which brought you good luck.
Luck?
The non existent devil sits on your left shoulder?
So obvious it was nonsense ...why?
