   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

    AH>  the same.  The objective is to frighten off evil spirits

    AK>  Do you spit over your left shoulder? ;)   
      
      
              Sounds like quite a feat... I'm not sure I could pull that off.    
   But Dallas has just reminded me of another British tradition whereby a person   
   who's spilled some salt will be advised to throw it over their left   
   shoulder....  :-)
