Why are chimney sweeps lucky?
Chimney sweeps work in dangerous, filthy conditions. One can imagine they would need a good deal of "luck" not to fall or become ill or suffer other disasters.

By encouraging that belief, chimney sweeps could add mystique and a bit of glamor ... and perhaps a bit more profit ... to an otherwise wretched job.
