“The Magic 8-Ball” / Memorable Fancies #4134

       Long ago, I had one of those “magic 8-balls” that answered questions. The ball had three possible responses: “Yes,” “No,” or “Try Again.”

       More complex (and expensive) 8-balls could make additional responses, such as “none of your business,” although I’m not sure I remember that response correctly. Perhaps it was none of my business.

       To my frequent and urgent queries as to my own future, the ball answered,

       Try Again

       Try Again

       Try Again

       Try Again
