Yeetle Box - Lifestyles of the Rich and Psychic

The Gallup Organization conducted a survey of the beliefs of the general United States population regarding paranormal topics. 41 percent of those polled believed in extrasensory perception and 26 percent believed in clairvoyance. Thirty-one percent of those surveyed indicated that they believe in telepathy or psychic
communication.

Somewhere in these survey results lie two once believers, now non-believers.


To whit:

(a) A 27-year-old “psychic” was sentenced to two months in jail in San Jose, Calif., in December after somehow convincing a woman, who had come to her for a $10 reading, to pay her, in ever-increasing increments, $108,000 for a “spiritual cleansing.” A colon cleansing would have been cheaper - and more satisfying.

(b) Charles Silveira filed a lawsuit in March in Morristown, N.J., to recover the $250,000 he had incrementally paid to a “psychic,” who said she needed to make a golden statue for him to ward off negativity. The woman also convinced Silveira to buy her a $700,000 home, but that house is in Silveira’s name, and he has asked a court’s permission to evict her.


















A colon cleansing is cheaper.

Two colon cleansings.

Three! Three colon cleansings.
