WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THEM?
At a lecture on psychic phenomena in a Comparative Religions course, the
instructor told about a woman who contacted police working on a missing
persons case.
"She gave them eerily detailed instructions on where to find the body," the
instructor said. "And in fact, the detectives did find the body just as she
had described. Now, what would you call this type of person?"
While the rest of the class pondered the question, a sheriff's deputy taking
the class raised his hand and replied, "A suspect."
Here's something to think about: How come you never see a headline like
