From my mother (90 years old):
Never count the cars in a funeral procession, because the number of cars will be the number of years you have left to live. (I've told her she SHOULD count the cars in some of those longer processions!)
Already mentioned here, but right palm itching means you'll shake hands with a stranger and left palm itching means you'll get some money. Also already mentioned -- if your ears are burning, someone's talking about you.
If you have a little bump on your tongue, it's a "story bump" and it means you've been telling lies.
Spilling salt will bring you bad luck unless you immediately pick up some and throw it over your left shoulder.
And my daddy used to tell me when I was a little girl that if I kissed my own elbow I'd turn into a boy. He also told me if I were to put salt on a bird's tail I would be able to catch it.
