Taking the Amazing Randi's challenge

I understand that the Amazing Randi, magician and skeptic, has offered a $1 million prize for anyone who can prove paranormal abilities. All he asks is the applicant tell him the particular powers s/he proposes to exhibit, under what limits that power may have, and what constitutes a positive or negative conclusion.

Amazing Randi, I can read men's minds. For the best example of this, and the most recurrant one, I would have to demonstrate with a particular man who was a city attorney in a city I was once a reporter in. Whenever I interviewed him after a city meeting, I could tell he was thinking about my boobs.

However, I was not alone in this mind-reading capability. Several other female reporters told me that when they would talk to him, they too could tell he was thinking about their boobs. All of us agreed that when we tried to prevent him from thinking about our boobs — by taking notes higher and higher up until our forearms effectively covered our boobs — he was still thinking about them and not even trying to pretend he was not, in fact, thinking about them.

Are we psychic or what?

Naturally, I claim a finder's fee on the psychic money pot. But I'm willing to take you other girls out to dinner somewhere mighty special.

Oh yeah, this one time, I could totally tell this guy was thinking about going "all the way" with me. Actually, it was more than one time. Sometimes it was with boyfriends. A couple of times it was some guy friends, and that's how I thought of them, really. Sometimes it was with men I didn't even know!

Can I have $2 million?
