tongue in cheek and foot in mouth

Well then, why don’t you just piss off then!

On the weekend I was driving home and saw a sign that said ...
Psychic Fair, 6 April, Town Hall.
....and it occurred to me that if they were really psychic they wouldn’t need a bloody sign. They would just know it was on.
This reminds me of the number of times people have told me that I am clairvoyant, but I suspect they are just getting confused with my name.
... and how about this one?
 “What star sign are you?” 
“Aries”
“Ah!!! That explains everything!”
Really? What does it explain apart from the fact that I am born somewhere between this date and that? 


Does it explain the overuse of the word experimental by bands playing 4/4 beat who think they are really out there when they aren't? I don't think so. Does it explain why my tits hurt today? Somehow I doubt it. I could clearly go on and on here so I will refrain.... 
The most annoying part about this exclamation "That explains everything" is that these people usually refuse to tell me what they think it explains and often go on to tell me that they don’t really get along with Aries very well and are not compatible with them. 
“If you are going to be like that with everyone that tells you they are Aries I am not fucking surprised!”
