The 1787 A Provincial Glossary, with a Collection of Local Proverbs, and Popular Superstitions by Francis Grose records the recommendation to keep one's fingers crossed until one sees a dog to avert the bad luck attracted by walking under a ladder.
Actually, it just goes to show us that this thread has soooo much knowledge, one human cannot possibly retain it all. TOAK.
Haha...I see what you did there. Nope, Texas born and bred. Lubbock is my home town. My folks attended Tom S Lubbock HS with Buddy Holly. One of my shirt tail cousins was an original Cricket. He is still living in Lubbock and has a Buddy Holly festival every year downtown. You now know all the 'famous' things from my family history.
Continuing to improve the knowledge base in this thread exhaustive research has uncovered an anecdote regarding crossed fingers...
