Paul was ambling through a crowded street fair when he decided to stop and sit at a palm reader's table.

 

"For $15, I can read your love line and tell you your romantic future," the mysterious old woman said.

 

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?" the woman asked.

 

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

 

"Love line? No, from your calluses."
