Country Music Played Backwards
Is it true that if I play country music backwards that my lost dog will find his way back home, the finance company will return my repossessed truck, and my wife will stop the divorce proceedings?

Sure, believe that if it helps. I spent a few months once playing the same Carly Simon album backwards, trying to see if it was really Frank Sinatra playing some kind of practical joke. I guess the joke was on me, because I ended up strapped to a bed in a padded room, with some orderly coming in every few minutes asking me if I knew where I was. For some reason, the only words I could utter were Scoo Bee Doo Bee Doo, and it took a team of lawyers to get me out of there. So go ahead, do your little experiment, if you’re willing to suffer the possible consequences.
