I read the title in the university bookstore - "How to win friends and influence enemies - using mind control." I looked at my list. Yep, required reading for psychology. My jaw dropped when I saw the price tag - $150. I had a moment of inspiration. I leafed through until I found the section I wanted - Old Jedi Mind Tricks. I sauntered to the cash register.

"That'll be $150, 10% less if in cash."

"You don't want to charge me anything." I said, wiggling my hand in front of her like the book suggested. "You want me to have the book for free."

The cashier rolled her eyes. "Idiot," she muttered under her breath. "You're the sixth guy today to try that. It doesn't really work, you know. The book's a parody - P.A.R.O.D.Y - of the extents people go to in order to maintain an illusion of control over random events. It is joke, mate; your psyche lecturer probably listed it for reading because he has a stake in the publishing company, or something." She pushed the book back to me. "That's 150 bucks, or you're leaving without it."

I spent the rest of the afternoon in the photocopier room, with an old edition from the library.
