Ring a Bell for Luck

I know they start boxing rounds by ringing a bell and at university we were taught about Pavlov's dogs and how he trained them to respond to bells. Pavlov's research on conditional reflexes greatly influenced not only science, but also popular culture. The phrase "Pavlov's dog" being used to describe someone who merely reacts to a situation rather than using critical thinking. And although it may not be a science in Thailand bell ringing a bell is supposed to bring you luck... and of course when your sister has a stick in her hand and you hear a bell there are some other reactions that are natural too.... bad dogs...bad dogs

Aja's comment: I didn't hit her with a stick, she hit me.... and afterwards she mentioned something about a blue star blanket and a 14th birthday....
