Seeing as they are walking in the middle of the road, they will be lucky not to get run over.Of course, one way or the other they will be lucky, there’s good luck and bad luck….
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”As Mark Twain (I think) pointed out, for many hundreds of years, this was the most important verse in the bible. Of course, you can be sure (wink wink, nudge nudge) it was purely out of spiritual zeal, and had nothing at all to do with the fact that the property of someone convicted of witchcraft was confiscated.
We have to decide if luck is an additive property or a multiplicative one. I lean more towards it being a non-entity. Luck is just the “lump-it-all-in-there” for variables that are either misunderstood or ignored. It is easier to identify those variables well after the fact, if you’re willing to spend the time looking. If you knew that leaving at precisely 10:1’25.25" AM meant you would be in an accident 22’15.08" later, would you alter your schedule to avoid the accident? It isn’t random chance, it’s just a lack of information, even when that information is unknowable.

It’s bad luck to be superstitious.

I’d have to say, either the square root of minus one or onomatopoeia.
