Paul was ambling¹ through a crowded street fair when he decided² to stop and sit at a Palm Reader's table.

"For fifteen dollars, I can read your love line and tell your romantic future", said the mysterious old woman

Paul readily agreed and the reader took one look at his open palm and said, "I can see that you have no girlfriend."

"That's true," said Paul.

"Oh my goodness, you are extremely lonely, aren't you?"

"Yes," Paul shamefully³ admitted. "That's amazing. Can you tell all of this from my love line?"

"Love line? No, from the calluses and blisters⁴."
