A year or so ago, me and my friend (David) were having dinner with an anti-aging guru of some repute (I don’t want to say which guru. We are not among his followers) in his flat. After dinner, we’re going out clubbing.
Visible from his window is a tram stop with an electronic display. There’s one tram in something like three minutes, which we don’t think we can catch, and a more comfortable one in ten minutes, which we decide on.
But all of a sudden, he changes his mind. We’re taking the earlier tram – run like hell!
David and I throw our shoes on and dart down the stairs, as fast as we possibly can, while the guru stays behind to lock the door. We barely make the tram, and say to each other ”What the hell did he do that for? Now he missed the tram” – well, as soon as we start talking about him, you guessed it, he’s on the tram.
David is 18, I’m 28. The guru, though much younger-looking, is middle-aged. He can probably not have run faster than us young folks; also, we started ahead of him, and at any rate he would have to have gone past us. There’s no shortcut. The only natural explanation is if he arranged it all with a twin we don’t know about.
(Creepy detail: At one point during the dinner, he said, word for word, ”I AM THE DEVIL” )
