Funny Superstitions, Gremlins in the Machinery
    #9337632 -

I was thinking about this a few minutes ago...

I know some nukes who work on an aircraft carrier, a "Nimitz-class supercarrier" I guess is more specific.  I was at dinner with them one night and they had had a few beers, and started talking about the gremlins that fuck up the machines in the belly of the carrier.  They said they keep little plastic army men inside the machines, and that while they are there, the gremlins stay away.  But their CO will come along for inspections, and remove all the army men, and then things will start to break or go wrong.
I laughed about it, but it just made their explanations get more enthusiastic.  They seemed nervous to be talking about it, and said they just wished that their CO would let them keep the army men there, and that once they are removed, without fail things start to go wrong.
They said now each guy down there keeps an extra man in his pocket so they can replace any their CO takes.
I know sailors have always been superstitious, and I guess high stress jobs can cause people to become superstitious...

Any of you have any funny superstitions?

If my supervisor asks my "how was your ride in?" I'm going to have a really shitty day

also works with "How are you?" and "What's up?"

PM me reading suggestions, I might just take you up on your offer.

If you eat the yellow charms (lifesaver like candy) in an MRE, it'll rain.

I hate the white lighter thing.  I've seen people turn down a cig/bowl because we only had a white.  Where the fuck did this one stupidstition come from?

Sorry its not really funny. Actually, they all are funny when people take them seriously, but yours might be one of the strangest.

I thought the white lighter thing was bullshit, and used to laugh at people who believed in it.
Then me and a few of my friends got ticketed for possession while using a white lighter.  I never used a white one again after that (for pot, its not like smoking a cig with a white lighter is going to give you bad luck, the cig will kill you anyway). 
Better safe than sorry dude.

First time I ever bought/carried a white lighter I got busted for paraphernalia.

Just curious: do you guys go as far as not using/carrying the bics with a plastic graphic cover on them?

a.k.a. white lighters in disguise.

That is just silly but way too common.

I had a penis attached to me when I got busted with weed once.  I lopped that thing off and I've stayed out of trouble ever since!  :wink:

Hmmm...where I'm from it's yellow lighters that are bad luck.  My boyfriend use to always get yellow lighters, and they were the only ones that he would use until there was no fuel, because no one wanted to take them.

When I was younger I used to have to use my hands equally, in fear that they would get mad at me and attack me, it was a crazy superstition!
