Quote: From: John Atkinson Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny Followup-To: rec.humor.d Subject: Psychic blooper "Psychics" are big on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, just north of the state capital, Brisbane. Other Australians regard the area as the Deep North, the antipodean equivalent of the USA's Deep South. A local radio station carried an evening program in 2001 in which a "psychic" appeared regularly. The usual flummery—calls from listeners (usually younger women) wanting forecasts of their love-lives, jobs, happiness etc., followed by confident replies from the "psychic" together with supportive clucking noises from the credulous anchor entity. Then the "psychic" made a classic blooper: Caller: "Will I meet someone?" Psychic: "Yes of course you will, darling. I see you dancing—you dance so well!—and meeting that man and dancing through life together, you know what I mean?" Caller: "But I'm confined to a wheelchair . . . " -- With thanks to the James Randi Educational Foundation: http://www.randi.org/jr/032902.html

LOL There is a psychic that comes on a commercial radio station once a week here... she is quite clever but she always 'extrapolates' a lot from little hints that the caller gives. On another radio station they used to have a weekly dream interpreter! Quentin Watts... She was really fantastic and really made sense...

oh no! that's awful! (awfully funny!) :) haha. there is a psychic on one the "popular" radio stations around here -- Psychic Susan, every thursday morning. it's so dumb. she says a lot of stuff, but doesn't say much of anything, if you know what I mean. and people are sooooo gullible!

or perhaps the psychic interpreted her vision wrong and instead of physically dancing the woman would be dancing with her heart! (just a thought) jade

Or maybe she's a wheel-chair off-road driver... Coudln't her new love give her the strength to dismiss the wheel-chair? In Naples there are thousands of fake psychics, especially on the TV. And they mostly are uneducated. They speak local dialects... And the story is always the same... :) It is just unberable when people are taken for a ride. And this time, it was also embarssing
