The agent kept pickin' on me. Last Tuesday, a week ago, I got a letter said we're going to have to move because they need the house by the 15th.

...experiences one encounters if he practices palmistry are many, and the rewards are considerable. One summer, for example, I was traveling extensively (I read 3000 palms in nine different states), and one afternoon I found myself on the Staten Island ferry. A strikingly pretty model was being photographed in a Peck & Peck outfit for an August issue of Vogue on the stern of the boat. She learned of my skills, and before long I found myself holding both her hands in mine with her hair blowing in my face, and how else, may I ask you, would I even have...
