Am I an alien?

PhotobucketHave you seen the Oracle Stress-O-Meter (by Lagoon Games) in any of your neighborhood stores? Do you know how this thing works? Seriously. If you know, could you please explain it to me? Because I have to tell ya, they don’t work for me at all. Not a single, solitary one of ‘em.

Not that I really need a machine to tell me whether I’m stressed out or not. I can usually tell by the utter look of fear on my husband’s and children’s faces.

Heh.

But seriously, my kids think that I’m an alien because every time we run across one of these things in a store, I try every single one on the shelf and nothing happens. When I touch the sensors… nothing… Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. As soon as they put their fingers on the thingamajigger’s sensors, it lights up like a Christmas tree. What’s up with that? How come I don’t register even so much as a ‘blip’?

Help me solve this puzzle, would ya?

Either I’m Bruce Willis and I don’t know that I’m dead. Or I truly am an alien.

…Which isn’t really all that far-fetched, I suppose.

Mwah-hahahahahahahahaha…

    Sorry I can’t help you; please don’t laugh, I’ve never seen Oracle Stress-O-Meter before. But I like your post, very funny…

    Lina,

    No laughter here. Nope. No sirree, not from me. ;)

    Thanks for stopping by!

    I have a tentative answer for you. There might be something in your skin that won’t set the thing off, like too much hand cream, or some kind of hormone or scent that oozes through your pores, or…the wrong kind of electromagnetic energy…whatever…the same thing happens to me in some elevators where you don’t have a button to push, but some kind of sensor.

    MP,

    You know, that was a fairly decent comment for spam. So good, in fact, that I’m not going to delete it.
    Thank you for stopping by and leaving your not-so-expert-yet-funny-advice. Much appreciated.

    I think I’ll go with your “wrong kind of electromagnetic energy” theory, which only goes to prove my theory of being an alien. So… coolio.

    Later dates, baby cakes!
    Or something to that effect…

    Definitely alien. How do I know? Because you have the same weird energy fields around you that I and my brother have. We also ‘kill’ most digital watches. The only ones that don’t quit on us are Timex Indiglo, the rest all go nuts and then die. And, those fortune teller thingies.

    Tim’s last blog post..Shedding More Light On Twilight?

    Hi Tim,

    Me too on the fortune teller thingies! I haven’t given the Indiglo watch a try though.

    So what planet do you think we’re from? I betcha it hasn’t been discovered yet. ;)
