There is a folk belief that if you bury a statue of St. Joseph on a piece of property, it will be sold more quickly. I took the St. Joseph from my Nativity scene and buried it near my front door.
A few days later a woman made me an offer on the house. Since she had to sell her home too, I suggested she enlist the help of the saint as well. After a month of burying the statue all over her lawn, she had no nibbles and, in disgust, put the statue out with the trash.
A week later she opened her local paper and read: "Town Sells Landfill to Private Developer."
