That sounds like the percentages of the weather forecasts…..

i have a tarot deck, and used to do amateur fortunes and readings at (fairly drunk) parties. and that 50% you get right can result in life-long hatred or blame, if not just smoldering resentment, and conversely a creepy fan club. people are that gullible.

Sounds like political polling

IF……..you’re lucky—if they ain’t accurate then it’s 100% ! ! ! !

The New Math.

Math is a Mystery for Many.

Hey, that is 150%, that’s pretty good.

If Madame is on her game, her predictions are ambiguous enough that they’re always right to somebody.

If I have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, I get it wrong 90% of the time.

“Did you hear? the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin’ fortunes better than they do.”—B. Springsteen

That’s different from, fifty percent of the time they are one hundred percent right. Not sure which is better, just that they are not the same.

If you need to call ahead for an appointment, find another psychic.

Yogi Berra couldn’t have said it any better.
