Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

I don't know if the martingale comparison is valid but, you certainly appear to be in a downward spiral compounded by an inability to arrest your escalating crime rate and the seriousness of your offences.
You may regret telling that joke about lawyers.
A gentleman is someone who can play the bagpipes but doesn't.

Double the magnitude of your sins until you finally achieve redemption.

I am still facing purgatory time for watching the Red Skelton show instead of Bishop Sheen. Plus skipping mass on Ash
Wednesday and showing up for school with ashes from the furnace on my forehead.
