That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 02, 2020

“In your future I see hand moisturizer.”

“Hmmm, I’ve never seen hairs here before. What could that mean?”

“I see your next husband will meet an untimely end like your last one. I’ll just be backing away now.”

“Whoa momma! With a life line like that I’m gonna have to insist on payment in advance!”

Yes, that is the fairest hand in all the land, Lady Macbeth. Now, if we could but get that damned spot out….

“Make sure you wash your hands often. That’s how we can slow the spread of the Coronavirus.”

I’m not asking you to read my fewking fortune! I just spent the past three hours babysitting the three hellspawn you call children! One of them bit me on the shoulder! I want my fewking money!

It was a sad and embarrassing situation when Kim, the manicurist, started showing signs of dementia.

You want your palm red? Slap the wall repeatedly.

Still trying to palm herself off as a seer, though everyone knew she needed glasses.

He told pretty girls he could read palms, then he’d work his way up from there.

“I see a bad mons arising. I see trouble on the way.” (With apologies to John Fogerty and CCR. Bad Moon Rising – 1969.)

“All the channels are clogged with political stuff.”

She spit in my hand and then we did a pinky swear.

“Sorry, Susan – the only way to lose those calluses is to give up the free weights.”

Genvieve’s Exotic Hand Massage Parlor was a hit with the ladies, as well as the gentlemen.

Duh, what do I do now?

The future cannot be divined/ as scientists frequently find/ yet she still had no qualms/ about reading their palms / ..and nobody seemed to mind .

“I don’t want my palm read—can you spare some change?”

The fortune teller probably spotted a lot of dirt and mud.

Probably still faster than the Iowa computers…

Madge, the manicurist, will recommend that she soak in Palmolive.

“My, what a dirty hand”. “If you think that one is dirty, wait until you see the left one.”

Hmmmm…not too sure about this, but you should maybe sell your house and buy a boat. Oh, wait a minute….sell your mouse and buy a goat! Yeah, that’s it!

“Nuthin up my sleeve. . .”

“Let go of my hand and listen.. my right knocker goes ‘beep’ when I squeeze.. LISTEN.”

It is my professional opinion as your doctor that you have only 3 fingers on this hand.

meryman said “how can you read my fortune when you are always looking at my tits”’.

“Your life line is short. But the length of your home decor line is impressive.”

I guess it’s okay to take a day off, but how hard is it to rip off some dead artist’s work, add a snarky caption, and publish it as your own creative work?

Do you have a legal team to ensure the art is public-domain? Or do you just wait for Disney lawyers to come after you if a Bambi-like image appears? :-)

“You’re right! They DO melt in your mouth and not in your hand!”
