This conversation took place a few months ago. Now it's time to clean out the mailbox, but this is too funny to lose...

I got a request this morning to update one of E.'s presentations, but needed some clarification on a couple of the items, so I called her.
One of the slides she referred to had nothing to do with the data she asked for. She laughed and said, “But of course - and here I thought you knew everything!”
I replied with, “Sorry, I left all my psychic abilities in my other pants this morning.”

I don't know what is funny. >I< presume you know everything. Just as I presume D. knows everything. Easier for me. Plus, I'm correct more often than incorrect when I make that presumption.
Wait...you have psychic pants?

Well, that’s easy for you - D. *does* know everything. Whereas I am merely a fledgling at her feet.
It’s not the pants that are psychic - it’s the abilities that I carry around in my hip pocket. Except when I forget and leave them in my other pants. Which at least means they’ll go through the laundry; not a bad thing, sometimes, getting brain-washed.

I was wondering if psychic abilities were washable or dry-clean only. Do they shrink? Wrinkle? Stain?

That depends on how twisted and dirty they are. Some just need an old fashioned scrub and an ironing to get things straightened out.

Mine do tend to go through the wringer pretty regularly.
