Buzz! buzz! buzz!
“In the middle of the sixteenth century if a person waved his hat or bonnet in the air and cried ‘Buzz!’ three times, under the belief that by this act he could take the life of another, the old law and law-makers considered the person so saying and acting to be worthy of death, he being a murderer in intent, and having dealings with witches” (“Denham Tract”). Very doubtful, and probably founded on a well known old story.
“I wish I was as far from God as my nails are free from dirt!”
