Spark Plug Kiss


Why does Tom kiss the spark plug he finds on the ground (before he enters the office to apply for the driver job)? For good luck? How is kissing a spark plug good luck? Is this something British that an American like myself loses in the translation?

reply

To my knowledge it is neither tradition or superstition here in the UK (I have never seen anyone kissing one for good luck)!

I think he was just so desperate to get work, when he saw it on the floor, he treated it as a good omen (that needed a little coaxing)!

Hello,thank you for the possible explanation.
