Getting ready to go to work this morning, I filled my pockets with the usual: wallet, keys, and some coinage in case I buy anything. As I go to slip the change in my pocket, I get distracted, and a couple of coins clatter to the floor. A dime falls, and come to rest on its edge between to floorboards in our hardwood floor, so that it is standing straight up in the air, neither heads nor tails. Pretty Cool, I thought to myself, and I left it there for posterity andgot into the car for the drive to work.
On the drive, I recalled an old Outer Limits/Twilight Zone episode with Bewitched’s Darren Stevens, who threw a dime to a paper boy and it landed on it’s edge, which gave him the ability to read minds.
Where’s my ESP, dammit!! It’s not fair, my dime fell on it’s edge just like that show, and I don’t have ESP. And it really could’ve come in handy today. What the hell is that SUV driving fuck doing in the left lane going 5 miles under the speed limit and never getting over? If I had ESP, I could figure out where he lived, and have a truck full of manure delivered to his front step. Which way is the judge leaning on the motion in limine that was presented to him this morning? I could’ve figured it out and maybe convince him to deny it right off the bat. And what the hell is my wife thinking when she tells me she wants me to come home early? If it’s for a little afternoon delight, I’m there in a split second, but if it’s to frame the window in the bathroom, I’d rather finish up my work.
I got fucking ripped off by the Powers that Be. I WANT MY ESP!!!
[sub]I will make one prediction though: somebody will post an answer, probably including relevant facts, of whether it was a Twilight Zone episode, or an Outer Limits episode.[/sub]
