great visitor from the East... the famous seer...
sage... soothsayer... all knowing... all seeing...
all omniscient... and former road manager
for Shecky Shady's Caravan of Cackles...

Carnac..... the Magnificent!
Oh mighty Carnac,
I hold in my hand... the envelopes.
They have been hermetically sealed
and kept in a mayonnaise jar on Doc
Severinsen's porch since noon today.
NO ONE knows the contents of these envelopes.
BUT YOU!... in your divine and borderline
mystical way, will ascertain the answers
without ever having seen the questions.
Is that not so, oh great one?

You are correct, Budweiser breath.
Let there be silence. I must have
complete silence as I concentrate
on the first envelope.

Is there an echo in here?

off the envelope, blows it open and
removes the slip of paper)
