If you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out (Take my wife)

by Tim Minchin

If anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single
Psychic who has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions 
that they are able to read minds...

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single
Astrologer who has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions 
that they can predict future human events by interpreting celestial signs...

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single
Homeopathic practitioner who has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions 
that solutions made up of infinitely tiny particles of good stuff dissolved repeatedly into relatively huge quantities of water have a consistently higher medicinal value than a similarly administered placebo...

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single
Spiritual person who has been able to prove either empirically or logically the existence of a higher power that has any consciousness or interest in the human race or ability to punish or reward humans for their moral choices or that there is any reason - other than fear - to believe in any version of an afterlife...

I will give you my piano,
One of my legs,
And my wife!
