So I'm just reading a few blogs around the internet and I find this from a blogger..
"The craziest thing happened to me tonight.
I'm walking downtown with my girlfriend after dinner and this woman has a table set up on the sidewalk with a crystal ball. She's dressed in this wild, colorful attire and she starts pestering us to come see her while we're walking. It's like 30-something degrees outside so we casually walk over there to see what was going on. To paraphrase, the conversation went a little something like this:
Woman: My name is [insert crazy name here]. Would you like me to read into the future for you?
Naturally assuming this was some stupid hoax to earn some quick cash, I said no.
Me: Nah, no thanks. I don't have any cash on me.
Woman: Oh! Don't be silly. I'll do it for free!
I looked at my girlfriend and smiled and decided to let her humor me. Why not?
Me: Okay, sure.
Woman: Give me a general topic to seek out for you.
After a few moments thinking, I finally came up with something.
Me: Something sports-related.
My girlfriend punched me in the arm that I was wasting this opportunity on something concerning sports rather than some cliche, ``Will my girlfriend and I be together forever?`` type question. We both laughed while this crazy old woman started imitating some sort of psychic.
Woman: Ah, I have something for you regarding your request.
Me: Okay, what?
Woman: The Dallas Cowboys will win the Super Bowl within the next two years.
Okay, pause here. As dumbfounded as I was, there was no way this crazy lady kept up with the Dallas Cowboys. She was Arabic or Indian -- I couldn't tell (something along those ethnic lines). Naturally, I figured she probably assumed I was a Cowboys fan because we live close in the area.. obviously. Continue, loaded with questions.
Me: Oh really? How do you know this?
Woman: I've seen into the future, kind sir.
Me: Okay, but why 2 years? Why don't you know what specific year?
Woman: The exact date I can not see. I can only tell that it will be within the specific time frame I have left you with.
Me: And if you're wrong?
Woman: I have never been wrong. And if I was, I would not continue my practice.
Me: Can you give me something else regarding the Cowboys?
Woman: Perhaps. Let me try.
I was really getting into this. I waited impatiently with my girlfriend while she concocted up her second fortune. I couldn't wait to hear what craziness she was going to mutter out this time.
Woman: I have something for you regarding your request.
Me: Okay, okay. Come on. We have to go.
Woman: Terrell Owens will cause another commotion and be traded to a team to whom I can not make out.
Okay, now there is just no way. She is either yanking my chain or this ***** is the real deal. I don't personally believe in seeing into the future, but this made my night. I pulled out my wallet and spotted her a few dollars.
Woman: Thank you, kind sir!
Me: Thank you. I hope your predictions are right.
My girlfriend and I walked back to my car. I dropped her off at her house. Kiss goodbye. Drove home. Finally got around to just to typing my story out to you guys. Submit new thread. My night in a nutshell.
I swear on my life this is no joke. If the Cowboys actually do win within the next two seasons, I'm hunting that lady down and kidnapping her for beneficial reasons.. LOL!"
I know what all of you will say, but just thought it was funny. I asked around and saw his past posts..He seems pretty credible and respected on that forum...that doesnt mean anything, but still, kinda weird to think about!
