Impressive psychic powers (pathetic geek story)
Sunday, Dec 31, 2000
When I was in 7th grade, Josh told me a joke. It went like this:

    Josh: Think of a number between one and a thousand.

    Me: ... Okay.

    Josh: What was your number?

    Me: 381.

    Josh: Wrong.

That was the whole joke (this was 7th grade, remember?) During lunch, I set forth with my new-found weapon, and found a girl I liked. The conversation went something like this:

    Me: Think of a number between one and a thousand.

    Girl: ... Okaaay.

    Me: What's your number? (being the honest type, I actually did think of my own number. Number 568.)

    Girl: 568.

    Me: Oh wow! You got it right! (flustered) That's not how it's supposed to go.

    Girl: That's a pretty stupid game.

Ahh, youth. Anyhow, thanks to Mic who's blog had the link that reminded me of this story.
