Listen, I've just read that whole photoshop thread and was amazed. I had no idea you face read. I was face read in Africa by a witch doctor once. It's amusing now, but was really scary then because he wanted to marry me.

He waited for me outside my hotel every single day. He followed me everywhere, kept leaving presents in reception, would not leave me alone. His face reading was a big lark also. He told me I'd have loads of children, when in fact, I actually don't have any. Well, just the ones I sponser through Childreach. I wonder if that counts?

Perhaps it was wishful thinking on his part. I was really scared. He looked like a giant man on stilts and I'm only 5ft and a bit. He only had three teeth in his whole mouth and they were all gold. Didn't speak English either, so I think communication would have been difficult.

I bribed this 18 year old guide to take me. The poor lad was panic stricken when the W/D wouldn't let us leave his tent. He offered to give him ten cows and two goats to leave me there. It was a really awful situation. I offered him three hundred dollars to get me out!

When he face read me, he actually picked me up like a child and held me very close to his face. So close that at the time I remember thinking he might kiss me. He didn't though thank goodness. All he did was stare into my eyes for the longest time. I thought perhaps he was short sighted, or that perhaps it was his normal consultation protocol. I never in a million years thought he wanted to bloody well buy me for a few cows and couple of goats!!!
