Hmmm ... does "wood" mean the same thing in Queen's English as it does in the States? If so, I am shocked by your explicitness. If this raunchy demeanor of yours does not change, I shall be forced to request your removal from this forum!
BTW, how much wood were you touching?
Sorry, but I'm not with you on this! Here in the UK those of us who are remotely superstitious touch wood when making a statement, in the hope that what one is saying will not come true, or happen.
Actually, I reached out and touched the bookshelf alongside my desk. If there is no real wood close by, I usually touch the top of my head at such times.
