Powers

"Look, this is a very important experiment. We need an irreproachable series of tests if we are to convince the world of your psychic abilities. So if you keep making the Zener cards come to life, you're sabotaging our efforts!"
"I'm sorry, professor."

Uh oh

Something broke. And, whatever it is, it appears to be inside the author's PC. It doesn't seem to be serious, though. So, barring new developments, Flea Snobbery will return next Friday, April 27th.

Privacy

"Hey! So you like Beatles? I like them too!"

"What? How do you know that? You've been reading my shirt, right? Respect my privacy, creep!"

Empathy

"So you get hit on at conventions, huh? Poor thing! You must really envy the lot of women in Middle East."

"So, you have to endure the sight of Our Lord in public buildings? Those sentenced to death for apostasy in Middle East must pity you a lot."

"You're just minimizing the issue because it doesn't affect you!"

Aiming

"Well? Have we hit San Francisco?"

"No. Earthquake in China."

"Will we ever be allowed to correct for the planet's rotation?"

"Correct? Are you suggesting that God could be wrong?"

Charon

"So, 'render unto Caesar,' huh? Well, buddy, unless you can return and bring back some of Caesar's spare change, you're stuck here for a while."

"Okay, okay... I'll be right back."

Psychic

"I'm seeing an awesome psychic! The other day she told me to say home on Saturday or else I risked being involved in a car accident."

"So? What happened?"

"She was exactly right! I stayed home the whole Saturday and wasn't in any car accident at all!"

"Amazing! You have to give me her phone number."

Poor

"Projections indicate that this economic program could cause the proportion of the population living under the poverty threshold to double in the next five to ten years."

"Wonderful! More opportunities to practice Christian charity and earn Heaven! This must be applied immediately."
