So, there is this psychic on the radio taking calls . . .

[Floogeldy]

. . . And this lady calls in and starts asking about her health or career or some shit like that, and the psychic suddenly interrupts her and says, "Hold it, hold it. Who is Robert?"

And the caller goes, "Oh my God, he is my friend. He recently died and I'm in his house right now." And the psychic replies, "He is there with you."

Doo dee doo doo
Doo dee doo doo
Doo dee doo doo
Doo dee doo doo

1. Ringer?

Perhaps.

[Floogeldy]

3. Could be.

Doo dee doo.

[Left Is Write]

23. That was my first thought.

[Cannikin]

2. Caller ID?

[Floogeldy]

5. One thing, though.

Ths psychic was in California, supposedly, appearing on the show in Oklahoma, by telephone. The callers were supposed to be local.

Doo dee doo doo.

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. yeah, Robert is such an unusual name...

:eyes:

[Floogeldy]

29. You mean the fake psychic just got lucky?

Could be.

[BlueJazz]

6. Anytime someone starts telling me about psychic stuff, I ask...

..them "If there are so many psychics and they are so great about predicting the future, why does the Powerball rollover??"

[Floogeldy]

7. Oh, that's easy.

You aren't allowed to use psychic powers to gain riches. It is forbidden, unholy, evil, etc. . . . .

[BlueJazz]

9. Yep..and then I ask them...

"Then why do I see Ads on TV, in the paper, Flyers and Radio about Psychic People who will tell your fortune for a Fee??"

[Floogeldy]

[Left Is Write]

24. Oh, crap. 83 million and I forgot to buy a ticket.

[jeff30997]

10. I bet you anything that the caller was...

The psychic partner.

[Hugin]

12. If said psychic was so psychic... Why did people need to call in at all?

Couldn't said psychic sit there and say...

"<Insert sucker's name here> in <Insert sucker's home town here>
the answer to your question is <Insert Yes/No here>."

Doo dee doo doo to you too.

25. I always wondered why, if the Psychic Friends Network

felt I needed to talk to them, didn't THEY call ME?

[lady lib]

13. Isn't it more fun to just believe in this stuff?

I get a kick out of it whether it's true or not.
So, did "Robert" have a message for the caller?

[Floogeldy]

14. Do you know someone named "Chuck?"

?

[lady lib]

16. Oooooooh! How did ya know?!

His name is actually Billy Bob, but you're close. Only one letter off in the alphabet. I believe!!!

[Floogeldy]

18. That's what I meant.

Go slow. You tend to rush into things, right?

[Left Is Write]

27. I do. Did you mean this question for me?

15. I called in to a psychic on the radio once

First thing he asked me was "So what kind of new car are you going to buy?" My first thought was, oh gee, what a loser this guy must be.....I had the same car for 8 years, it was paid off, still ran like a champ, and the thought of buying a new one had not ever crossed my mind. I told him that I wasn't getting a new car, and he told me "Yes you are....in less than a month." I thought sure, fat chance of that happening. He then told me some other crap about getting an exciting new job and my finances would be improving. Yeah, right. I had the same job for 8 years and wasn't looking for a new one, and I didn't have any sick relatives that would be leaving me any money in their will anytime soon to improve my finances. That was on Tuesday.

On Thursday, I was driving to work and a woman backing out of her driveway hit my car with her huge truck....totaled my car. Bought a new car on the following Monday. On the following Wednesday I got to work (in my new car) and there was a State Trooper standing at the entrance. Seems the owner of the place I worked at had not paid any taxes (state, federal, payroll...the whole ball of wax) for over two years, and the state had seized the property and shut the business down, and I was now unemployed. Went to the unemployment office and applied for benefits on Thursday. Friday morning they called and sent me on an interview for a position they had just received a listing on. Got hired that day....making double what I made at my old job.

Coincidence????

[lady lib]

17. Cool. Which psychic was it?

[finecraft]

19. It was a local guy

His name is Bret Balen. That happened six years ago, so I don't know if he is still in this area or not. I'm not usually a big believer in this kind of stuff, but after that, who knows :shrug:

[Floogeldy]

20. I think not!

[finecraft]

21. Yep....true story

There's nothing worse than being in an accident, having your car totaled, buying a new one with a large monthly payment and showing up for work excited to show everyone your new car....only to find out you no longer have a job. I had never even heard of the place the unemployment office sent me to for my new job, but boy am I ever thankful they sent me there! Six years later, I can still honestly say that it's the best job I've ever had.

[Floogeldy]

22. I mean I think it is not a coincidence.

[finecraft]

26. I realized that was what you meant after I posted!

Sorry :loveya: Guess that proves I'm not psychic :)

[auntAgonist]

28. why do psychics ask questions like, ..

what year were you born? time and day etc, .. IF they are SO psychic, they shouldn't have to ask..

:hi:
