Not being in tune to the psychic world and its inner mysteries, I'm a bit puzzled over this:
" A surprising number of people say they’ve consulted fortune tellers: 1 in 5 Americans, according to a YouGov survey published in 2017. People go to psychics for all kinds of fanciful services, like palm and aura readings, astrological consultations, cartomancy, mediumship and animal communication. In 2019, the market research firm IBISWorld reported that those businesses had a combined revenue of $2.2 billion.
" NY Times
You'd think a psychic, medium, or what have you, would have seen the current conflagration coming down the pike. But perhaps germs and such, are too small to twizzle the dongles of psychic vibrations.
What I find especially surprising is that "readings" can be successfully accomplished by phone and various apps, as long as there is a mystical gateway to the victim's wallet.
But seriously, folks, wouldn't someone who can go all Nostradamus on the future, just sit back raking in dividend checks from their Wall Street investments?

Oh, so now people are suddenly supposed to behave rationally?
I see...
BTW: hereby formally requesting your legal permission to name my next band "The Dongle Twizzlers".

My wife went to a fortune teller before we met. The ball gazer told her that her first husband (me) would die very young. Every morning she seems a little disappointed that I made it through the night.

I've just remembered, I had my "fortune" told on an impromptu basis many years ago by a gypsy, who grabbed my hand while I was walking through an indoor market in town.
She told me I was a musician (I was actually carrying a guitar case at the time ;-) ), and that I would be on TV soon. A couple of weeks later I was "on TV" clearly visible in the audience of a local band's gig. This is the only time I've ever been on TV. 😜

This reminded me of my post about my pediatrician. Two band names in just 5 posts?
This may be a record... |

Give the "ball gazer" your address. Maybe she'll try to redeem herself. Considering this was over forty years ago, I expect Esmeralda has herself long since expired. I wonder if she saw *that* coming. |

I occasionally receive email messages from psychics. I always wonder if they were able to foresee that I would delete their message without even reading it.

The Psychic Convention has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

On the way to my son's college dorm there was a Psychic shop. I said (every time we passed...I'm a Dad...) "Someday I am going to just walk in there, and when they ask if I have an appointment, I'll smartly reply 'Why would I need an appt? Didn't you know I was coming?" .
...My psychic twinkle tells me that none of you will laugh at this lame-o joke either...

I'm something of a psychic myself, which is why I never go to have my fortune told: I already know what they're gonna say.
They don't begrudge my not giving them my business since they've already foreseen my reasoning.
But you guys already knew that...
