Signs Point To Yes

I once saw a guy in the testing center at BYU take a Magic 8 Ball out of his backpack before his test. When he read the questions and decided on an answer, he would ask the Magic 8 Ball if that was the right answer. If it said yes, he would put that as the answer; if it said no, he would choose something else.

Actually, I never saw that happen. But I do have a friend who saw it happen. Or maybe it was my friend's friend's friend. Or maybe it's an urban legend and it never happened at all. That's probably the most likely. Since you can't even take a test with facial hair, I doubt they would let you take one with a Magic 8 Ball. But it is a good story.

So although no one I know has ever used a Magic 8 Ball to take a test, Magic 8 Ball's and other decision makers are very useful toys. Like, once in high school, I asked the Magic 8 Ball if I would ever get married. It said, "Signs point to yes," and I never worried about never getting married again. Although, I also asked it if I was going to marry Spencer Whitlock and if I remember correctly, it said, "Definitely." I think that's the one time the Magic 8 Ball was wrong.

(Side Note: When my brother got home from his mission, he brought me a Magic 8 Ball in French, which was great because since I speak very little French, the answers could be whatever I wanted them to be).

There are lots of cool decision makers available in the promotional products industry. A few of my favorites are:

Magic Answer Ball
Mystical Orb Fortune Balls
Magnetic Darts & Decision Maker
