The Fisherman

One thing you never did, you never left a bucket full of water on the deck because it was bad luck. You never talked about horses, because that's bad luck. And you never leave on a Friday. Any Friday. You never began a fishing trip on a Friday because that's bad luck. They laid the keel of this boat on Friday, they completed the work on a Friday. I think the skipper was named Friday. It left on a Friday with a hundred and some men on this boat. It was never heard from again. So they really did that good. I would say, “Why?” And they would say, “Well, it's just bad luck, that's why." So you never asked why too many times.
