It's Saturday! Cut your nails!

As everyone knows Saturday is a good day to cut your nails, for you will meet your sweetheart on the following day. Who hasn't met a sweetheart on a Sunday because of their footcare the day before? No-one that's who!

On other days cutting your nails may bring further fortune or misfortune. This is of course all true and scientifically proven through the stringent work of podiatrists.

Monday for health, 
Tuesday for wealth, 
 Wednesday for news, 
Thursday for shoes, 
Friday for sorrow, 
Saturday see your sweetheart tomorrow, 
If you cut them on Sunday you cut them for evil, 
And all the week through you will sup with the Devil.
