Dee Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 The BEST Old Wives Tale contest in the Clip forum has been moved ahead to August 15 because of my absence. The winner of the contest will be announced in the Clip forum on August 31 so start sending in Your Best Old Wives Tales! I am listing a few examples of Old Wives Tales to give you an idea of what the contest is all about: My mom always told my sisters and I, that if you get the front of your shirt wet while washing dishes at the sink that you were going to marry a drunk. So, I bought a dishwasher and married a guy who does not drink! If you tell a lie your nose will grow. If your nose itches you told a lie. If you look left when talking you are lying. Aspirin between the legs is good birth control. Red sun set sailors delight. -Do not kiss your baby on the ear, it will make him/her deaf. Grandma said, When you have your period should not do anything strenuous or do any type of vegetable canning. I hope this gives you a good idea of how some of the most outrageous Old Wives Tales can be. Send your entries to my email here and I will forward them to our judges to choose the most outrageous. Our judges are Old Pine, Cavey and my Cappy if they are still willing and able. Enter as many times as you like. Prizes are listed in the Clip Forum... Get ready and have lots of fun!
