 I called and said that I heard King was planning to interview a spiritualist.
 The young lady  firmly said, No, it's a Psychic.

 I said, well, this sort of thing is becoming to popular with the public.
 Couldn't you get someone like Penn or Teller to join the argument?

 She said, Why?

 I said, because they are professional magicians who can do all the same
 tricks, and they're not afraid to explain how they're done.

 She said, well that would be interesting some other time, but tomorrow's
 interview is scheduled for him alone.
