3 on a match

Generally considered a bad omen, especially if you're the third on the match. It might have origins in combat, when the initial smoker lights up it gives an enemy shooter range, during the 2nd he can assess windage, & this makes the 3rd a prime target

Don't know how true that is, but it's interesting :mojo:

I just don't like the number 13 or any combination of it. Interestingly enough, I drive van 39 at work. 13 x 3.

In the First World War, a trench sniper wouldn't need to see three matches being sparked before taking you out. Hence the last words of H.H. Munro, to one of the men under his command- "Put that bloody cigarette out!"

My birthday is the 13th, and that number has always been lucky for me, 11th and 12th not so much !! :(

Yeah a lit cigarette in a war zone at night, is pushing your luck a bit !!
