Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn’t what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Said she’d take a look at my palm
Said “Son do you feel kind of warm?”
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said “You’re in love.”

Last November, I was strolling down the Sukhumvit in Bangkok one night on my way to one of my favorite bars. On the corner of Soi 26, there is a female fortune teller who sets up shop every evening. Well, as a cheap diversion, I thought it would be fun to have my fortune read. After flattering me about how handsome I was and how my business would flourish in the future years, she said I also have some bad news for you. She said although, I could expect to live a very long time, I should be forewarned that I will have stomach problems in the not too distant future.

“Ah ah,” I proclaimed with a pained look on my face , “Thanks for warning me, right now I’m headed over to this new Indian Restaurant down the street for dinner”, as I payed her fee and walked away, chuckling to myself.
