[UA] Superstitious bastard!

[Greg Stolze]

Okay, so partially I'm sending this out of fear of "bad luck for years."
I've had seven years bad luck before, and I'm not anxious to repeat it.
But also, there's something UA-ish about this.  The whole "phone will rinng
right after you do this."  That and the TERRIBLE grammar.

The whole "phone ringing" thing reminds me of a card trick a friend of mine
did in college.  He'd point to a well-used deck of cards in his dorm room,
or in the lounge where we used to hang out and play euchre all the time.
"Watch this trick, it's a really good one.  Ready?  Okay.  Pick up the
cards.  Don't let me touch them at all.  I'll stay here, across the room,
so you know I'm not doing anything, all right?  Now, what's the month of
your birth?  November?  Eleventh month, goes with the eleventh card in a
suit, that's the Jack.  I'll say jack of diamonds.  Shuffle the cards real
good, a couple times.  Ready?  Okay, cut the deck.  You'll cut right to the
jack of diamonds."

"It's the three of spades, Jeff."

He'd shrug.  "Well, some day it's going to work out right just by sheer
chance.  When that happens, someone's gonna be REALLY IMPRESSED.
