Concessions manager, my old boss, is trying to talk me up into putting half my paycheck into the employee betting pool again. Wish he'd lay off, after I told him not interested the first time

You know those horoscopes are completely made up, right? I mean, we have living proof that there are aliens, and those constellations are only visible from Earth. So for starters they don't apply to anyone born off-world.

[madeinoblivion]

Are they? I heard the lady who writes 'em for the newsfeed can tell your whole life by looking at your hands.

Even if she's a real psychic, you can't accurately generalize for an entire twelfth of the population at a time. It's all arbitrary.

[madeinoblivion]

So you'd need to see her in person?

[batgraduate]

Something like that. Probably. I don't really know that much about psychics, but I did take a class on statistics last semester.

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. Gee. Boring, but I guess that's good for figuring out the odds.

[batgraduate]

A necessary evil, I assure you. It also taught me that you can't really trust doctors. Or pregnancy tests. Comforting, isn't it?

[madeinoblivion]

I've never had to see a doctor. Or- Well. Or the other, obviously.

[batgraduate]

Well if you ever do, tell her to get tested twice.

[madeinoblivion]

Uh...sure. I'll remember that.
