    The reason why they do not like to work is because they spend their Sundays drinking strong drink, and are not able to work the next day.
    Sailors have a superstition regarding Monday also. They believe it is unlucky to start on a voyage on that day.
    A child born on a Friday is supposed to have very bad luck.
    If you dream on a Friday night and tell it on a Saturday it is supposed to come true.
    Saturday is supposed to be a bad day for flitting because there is a saying, "Saturday's flit is a shirt sit".
