   Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin

    AH>> Ex-Brits may say "knock on wood", but the meaning is the same. The

   Our tradition says that devil follows every person at his left side. And   
   spitting over the left shoulder is tantamount to chasing him away, and   
   the person as if prevents himself from devil's tricks.   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
