Palm Reading Parlor Game
Years ago I learned a devastating truth about myself. I’m truly lousy at parties.
Yes, I know, it’s horrible and I have struggled all my life to overcome it. But, I finally had to admit a Sanguine I am not.
But, I had to find a way to at least appear entertaining. Why? Because cute girls are often found at parties and I always had a weakness for cute girls.
So, after years of “wall floweridge” (yes, I know it’s not a word), I took action. One day standing in line at the checkout at the Piggly-Wiggly I picked up the cheesiest, most hokey, lame book I could find on reading palms and plugged it in with a vigor.
Guess what? The ladies loved it.
Now that I have long since married and no longer have need of the awesome power it provided I share the ancient, secret, mystic (is that enough over used language of intrigue?) wisdom with you. May you use it only for good. Or good fun at any rate.
Gaze now upon my own good hand upon which I have illuminated the secret, mystic…blah…blah…blah, anyway I put the palm reading indicator lines on it and took a picture.
( I know it is supposed to be the other hand. Just hush and enjoy it!)
Let’s break down the diagram one major line at a time.
- Lifeline - indicates the vitality of life but not the length.Location: base of thumb to span between thumb and index finger.
- Headline - indicates the intellectuality and thirst for knowledge.Location: span between thumb and index to the opposite side of the palm.
- Heartline - indicates the physical and metaphorical matters of the heart.Location: span between index and middle finger to the opposite side of the palm.
- Girdle of Venus - indicates the emotional intelligence and the ability to manipulate others.Location: span between ring and middle finger to span between ring and pinky finger.
- Sunline - indicates the propensity for fame and scandal.Location: base of palm to span between ring and middle finger.
- Mercuryline - indicates skill in communication.Location: base of palm upward toward pinky finger.
- Fateline - indicates the path of life beyond ones control.Location: base of palm upward toward middle finger.
I truly did have a lot of fun with this system and was able to garner the interest of quite a few lovely young ladies. The only problem with this technique is you only end up with the kind of girls who are interested in palm reading, divination of the stars and tea leaves. And not being a compulsive sanguine after this was a bit over the top on the Fun-Richter for me.
So, I chucked the whole system and found a nice English girl who really knows what tea leaves are for and married her about 25 (+) years ago.
But, if you are a sanguine (or a melancholy who likes to mess with sanguines) you might find this an entertaining venture.

Reg: Are you promoting flirting?
Just kidding. Anyway, this is a good info with a photo. You can probably write a follow-up article getting into little more details like how to read these lines and surprise these lovely ladies.
BTW, just for your info, in Indian Christian circles palm reading is considered unholy!
Keep entertaining

<p><p>Hello Joseph,<br /><br />
No promotion here. Just a bit of fun. I didn’t know about the Indian Christian element. But, I was raised as what is known as “hardshell baptist.” Not only was palm reading considered bad, even most board games (especially if they had cards or dice or anything related to chance) were frowned upon. I remember a terrible still when Ouija boards came out. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed to post. Thanks for the comment. Reg</p></p>

I was woo’d not with palm reading, but with a demo of “pressure points on the hand” which amounted to a very lovely hand massage that, indeed, left me melted. Either way is great for getting an otherwise out of reach object of affection to hold your hand
