Do You Carry Anything For Luck?

[cigrmaster]

@cigrmaster your story sounds a lot like my brother’s. He had a lucky watch, though. Then he turned that lucky watch into a custom watch business which took off, enabling him to quit managing a sales floor and then quit the car biz entirely.

I think it’s a confidence booster having a lucky item. Confidence is the salesman’s best ally, and knowing that you’ve got your “lucky” item with you makes your confidence soar.

I totally agree. People can sense desperation whether they know it or not. I see it whenever I am buying a big ticket item.

I do believe in luck. I've seen people who continuously fall into barrels of shit and climb out with a silver dollar between their teeth. I carry a 7.62 bullet that was removed from my shoulder in 1982. It's been in my pocket so long that it's all polished now.

My luck went out when I won three bubble gums in a row back when I was 5. Since then, I had to earn everything I have.

I find a 4-leaf clover nearly everytime I look down, so I usually keep a pocketful of pulverized clover dust on me. Might come in handy if I run out of tobacco ?

harris, that's a non-fiction short-short story. It has its own inner energy.

Not for luck, but I have a bracelet I wear every day. Got it for Father’s Day some years ago. It reminds me daily of some important things.

It’s silver, but made to look like fishing swivels.

I carry a buckeye that has been handed down for 3 generations. It is in my left pocket every day. I was curious if anyone else carries anything

No, don't have one I carry but have an old 2" high wooden Buddha from the 60's in my medicine cabinet. Does that count?

It looks to me like those clovers are drinking all of your whiskey. Better keep an eye out...

Well they may be Irish....

Bet it smells like ass in there ?

No, but it probably smells like Latakia.

I can't believe that you, one of our foundations of righteousness and correct thought, would disparage a nationality so...

I carry my wallet for luck. Every time I pull it out, people seem to give me goods and services...

Don’t worry I’m part Irish ?

Not that bad it smells like rubber not nasty gym socks
