Growing up, my grandmother always said that if the palm of your right hand itched it was a sign that money would unexpectedly land in your lap, while if the palm of your left hand itched it would be stripped from you, tight as you may clutch it.
I always wondered why the left hand got such the shaft. That's the hand used for butt wiping in the motherland...that's right folks, I come from the land sans TP and we use our God given appendage and holy water from the Ganges to clean our behinds. A bidet is a step up from the route we adopt.
That's the true immigrant story. The real reason behind immigration--TP!
Now that back story might help you understand why the left hand is more prone to itching than the right. Does that mean for the most part people lose money? Does that mean people that wipe their asses with the right hand are onto something and therefore inherit/come by/win money for such deviant behavior?
In a society so shackled to custom and rooted in tradition, does it pay to covertly buck the system? Wipe your ass with the wrong hand and get paid for it.
So, my right hand has been itching like mad lately...
