Re: Old wives' tales.
One for sorrow
Two for joy Three for a letter Four for a boy. Five for silver Six for gold Seven for a secret, never to be told I don't know if this is just because it was the theme tune to a 70's kids programme but i always thought this was for counting Magpies....

"If you want something saying, ask a man.
If you want something doing, ask a woman." (Margaret Thatcher - can we consider her an old wife?)

Re: Old wives' tales.
Rub butter on a bump on the head.
Put steak on a black eye. Rinsing your hair with urine will give your mane a healthy shine. (These three could be connected, after someone got thumped for taking the pee.)
