Law of the Playground

By crossing your fingers and yelling Feighknights (sp?) at the top of your voice, you were rendered untouchable in any form of playground mirth. Double feighnights were twice as effective. Rumour has it, soldiers in the second World War used to say it to Nazis when their own shoelace was undone, so they could halt momentarily, tie up their shoes and continue having a war.

If someone wants to fill me in with where this came from or why, feel free to do so, unless it’s deathly boring, in which case I don’t care.
