Hungry Psychic Sees Sweet Potatoes in Your Future

Published Friday, March 9th, 2012

Recent reports from a psychic with a grumbling stomach predict that very soon you will encounter a piping-hot sweet potato.

You visited the psychic earlier today to discuss the fidelity of your significant other, but the conversation quickly turned to root vegetables such as potatoes, beets and yams.

“Your lover is faithful, but a terrible cook,” said the old gypsy woman, who was looking up latke recipes on Google when you arrived at her shop. “I wouldn’t worry though – your love line begins below your middle finger, which indicates to me that you are quite capable of preparing French fried potatoes for yourself.”

When the psychic did discuss topics that were not culinary in nature, conversation was strained. “Yes yes, I see in the very near future that many of your friends and family members will perish in a horrific accident,” she said. “But if you don’t mind, I’d really like to get back to the potatoes.”

The consult ended poorly when the psychic’s so-called second sight was revealed to be a total sham. “The grocery store down the street has a sale on potatoes,” she said. At press time discounted potatoes were not available at the grocery store.
