NOT MUCH HOPE
A woman attending a state fair stopped by the tent of a fortune teller. Looking into her crystal ball a frown spread across the fortune teller's face as she predicted, "The next fifteen years of your life will be filled with disappointment, unhappiness and poverty."
"Then what?" asked the anxious woman. "You'll grow accustomed to it."
