I Was Forced Into This (As Well As Forced Out Of It,...)


When you've walked in my shoes, this joke just never gets old:
"In the 1990s, [Dionne Warwick] became the public face of the Psychic Friends Network, a telephone service that connected callers with clairvoyants for $3.99 a minute. It earned her $3 million a year before the corporation that owned the service went into bankruptcy. 
Critics of Ms Warwick's own bankruptcy filing have taken to web forums to joke that, given her experience with the Psychic Friends Network, she should have seen her money troubles coming."
Here's another joke I'm enjoying (immensely) today: 

 Dear Dionne, 

 You should follow the advice of feminist law professor Ann Althouse and call your mother, to thank her for not aborting you, and allowing you a chance to rip off your delusional "sisters," and other of your fellow Americans, to the tune of $3 million dollars a year. 

They would've known better, if they read like I do, but look at the bright side: 

 $3 million is more money than Ann's making from misinformation,...

  1. Meh. The only difference between P.T. Barnum and New Age Charlatans is P.T. Barnum was up front in what he was doing and provided a better entertainment benefit (by far) for each buck spent.

    Great shoe pictutre!
