Not get sick and die. Didn't think that needed to be said...Knock on wood in the hope that I get sick and die or not get sick and die?
The custom knocking to wood started as protection from the evil spirits. Today people say it with various intentions and combinations, however it will properly work only as the aforementioned protection, that's for sure

I thought the idea of knocking on wood dates back to the early days of Ikea, when people would incredulously test the strength of the material by knocking it.

the only wood I care for knocking is Astrid's
Well, that's an understandable supposition for postmodern and more recent times when our precious mythic past is almost completely forgottenI thought the idea of knocking on wood dates back to the early days of Ikea, when people would incredulously test the strength of the material by knocking it.
This has certainly veered off from usual vest and bread talk.
Ahh yes, the other wood...baguettesI was thinking of the OTHER wood, too, but okay...

I hear ghostwriting is a dead end job, a positively haunting experience.
