#wives tale

alright, we all know the phrase “knock on wood,” yea? Well, at what point does wood stop being wood. Will knocking on wood work if there’s a thick paint layer between the wood and the knuckles. What if it’s some kind of mix of wood, like pykrete, paper, Ikea composite, cardboard, etc. Does sawdust count. What about leaves. Grass?  also can I use my toes to knock on wood or does it have to be with my hands. Do I even need to use any part of my body, or do I just need to create a knocking sound?

That's an old wives tale, if you play with fire you'll wet the bed
