'Touch wood"
(ie, you have to touch a wood object, if you want a negative thought NOT to happen).
It works!
Why?
Because the act of touching wood - doing something positive - dispells negative thoughts, and helps your concentration.
I do it every time I am about to get on my motorcycle, and will take my gloves off again and find a piece of wood, if I forget. I also carry a small sliver of wood in my pocket, and tap my pocket if I think a negative thought while riding.
My only accidents occurred when I forgot to 'touch wood'.

If three people have a photo taken togeter the one in the middle will die first.
If there is a dead body in the room all mirrors should be covered or the first person to see themselves will die.
New shoes should never be put on the table
a babies pram should not be brought into the house until it is born
Never give knives or sharp implements as presents unless you are going to recive a present back
Spend new years eve with your lover or you will have split up by the folling new years
If you see a magpie alone always say good morning/afternoon/evening or goodnight to cancel bad luck
If you walk between the legs of a sign post you must spin to cancel bad luck

I cannot be in the same room when my team is playing. As soon as I walk in, the other team gets a homerun, or touchdown, or my side hits into a triple play.
It sucks. I love sports.
(BTW, I didn't watch ONE MINUTE of World Series... Red Sox won!) I listened from the hallway.
True story.

Dogs can see ghosts, and if one is around, Fido is bound to be looking at him, so you can see ghosts if you look between the ears of a dog.
