Did anyone see on BBC Breakfast Time the chairwoman of the committee that
has just recommended against changing the organ donor law to opt-out? The first thing she said was: "My heart goes out to anyone waiting for an organ transplant". Really! -- Reentrant |

What a heart that mans has. Anyone ever used the 'where shall we go on holiday' stunt? You and you acomplice claim telpathic powers. You leave the room. Acomplice explains you are so close you even know each others holiday destinations. The group choose a destination. You re enter room. Acomplice starts calling out seemingly random holiday destinations, eventually he mentions the chosen place & you immediately confirm it as being the chosen place. The 'key' is that your acomplice will use a placename containing a body part; the one 2nd after is the chosen place.

Knowing my luck, I'd forget what was said and choose the wrong one. Never been good at punch lines. :-) Must give it a try at the Christmas parties, though. A far better variation is 'Black Magic'. Can be done with all sorts of variations in routine. Just mention twoi items, or ten items, 'normally' using speech, then when the onlookers accuse you of using a particlar phrase or a certain number of selections, you switch to pointing, no words. The missus and me have had countless people completely baffled with it. Of course, I can't tell you how it works, coz I'd then have to kill you! :-) (But think about TMH's explanation and work it out from there!) -- The Wanderer The older I get the better I used to be! |
