I don’t really think that a terrible fate will ensue if I say something jinxy. Still, if I say something jinxy, I will try to find some wood to knock on. If I find it, I’ll knock on it and say, “Knock on wood.” And if there’s not any real wood, I’ll knock on simulated wood and say, “Knock on simulated wood.” I might even, if the situation required it, knock on plastic and say, “Knock on plastic and pretend it’s wood.” Just in case.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
