In England, what does finding a button in the plum pudding mean to an unmarried man?
Bachelorhood
Reply:England has many superstitions surrounding the much anticipated plum pudding. Traditionally each member of the family took a turn stirring the pudding for good luck. And a ring, coin, thimble, and button would be stirred into the batter.
Whoever found the ring would marry soon. The coin meant wealth in the coming year. If you were the unlucky girl who found the thimble it meant you would be single for the upcoming year. The unlucky young man who found the button was also left a bachelor.
Reply:Well I would say it beats finding a condom
