• If you sneeze at table with the mouth full, an acquaintance will die soon. (Virginia)
• If your shoe comes untied, your sweetheart is talking about you. (Alabama)
• To go back into the house for something after starting on a journey is unpropitious. To have it brought out is all right. (Iowa)

Beware of that man,
Be he friend or brother,
Whose hair is one color
And moustache another.
