T-Mobile Arena
Sin City, Nevada
Third time’s the charm, so the saying goes. I’ve always associated it with baseball but perhaps it is actually a reference to how men once believed that a woman would sexually give in if you tried to jam it in her three times.
The origin of the phrase ‘third time’s a charm’ is probably ancient, as things that come in sets of three have often been associated with good luck due to their similarity with the Holy Trinity of Christianity. The first time a similar phrase was seen in print was in 1839, in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s work Letters Addressed to R.H. Horne: “The luck of the third adventure is proverbial.”
And there you have it: not baseball, maybe Jesus. (But probably sex.)
