I got a lift in a car once driven by a $ologist.
As we drove at hair-raising speeds round blind corners on country
roads, I nervously suggested that it might be a good idea to slow down
a bit. He asserted confidently that due to his 'training' he could
cast his mind ahead and knew that the road was clear around the bend.
I held my breath with fingers crossed for the remainder of the journey.

I never went near him again.
