Does Ann Landers get questions like this?

I spill salt. I want to remove any taint of bad luck that results. The proper response: throw salt over my shoulder. But which one? Left or right? The logic of superstition suggests that choosing the wrong shoulder will only redouble my bad fortune. So it makes no sense to gamble. Perhaps a pinch over both, with the hope that this will be sufficiently confusing for the fates that I'll escape without consequence?

Any advice would be welcome.
