It Was About Time 

    Somebody has finally found a use for asparagus. A self-proclaimed fortune teller in England uses asparagus spears to foretell the future. 
    Her method seems to be to toss the spears into the air then according to the way they land is what gives her the answer to questions about what’s going to happen in the future. 
    Some of her predictions have been, “A real shake-up in the major political parties.” Wow! Who would have thought?
   “Sports personalities will be embroiled in scandals.” Boy, that’s never happened before.
   “Concerns about global warming will take center stage.” Now that’s a shot out of the blue. 
    Now, any person who is alive could make these same predictions, without the benefit of asparagus. 
    One question I have, (there will be more), is how does a person come to realize that spilled asparagus spears are foretelling the future. Do they stumble when delivering asparagus spears to the dining table and look at the result and gasp out, “Oh my, my spouse is going to cheat on me.” 
    Or is there some place you can go to learn to read asparagus? 
    Does it have to be organic or will any asparagus do? 
    How about wild asparagus—are its predictions X-rated? 
    Can this predicting be done with both raw and/or cooked asparagus? 
    After the asparagus has foretold the future is it appropriate to eat it? 
    Or maybe this asparagus throwing/reading person just discovered a way to get herself in the news.
