The ex ladyfriend of a colleague.
Very good-looking, well-dressed in a 'naughty secretary' kind of way, well-spoken and blisteringly intelligent. She's well travelled, erudite and witty and worked as a forensic computer analyst for various government agencies.
I've had many an interesting after-dinner conversation with her and my mate, until the night she mentioned homeopathy. I was expecting her to come out with all of the counter-arguments (chemically impossible, Avogadro's number, it's bollocks to gull and fleece the credulous) but no.
She regularly visited a Homeopathist, took his sugar pills, paid through the nose for shaken water and actually believed it worked.
Irrational? No!
Fucking mental.

I like the thing that Tin Minchin said about homoeopathy
and when you tell it to homoeopathy advocates it messes with their minds

If water can remember the long lost drop of onion juice how come it somehow forgets all the poo it's had in it?

Not at all
The sea is full of all kinds of crap, so by homepathic definition it's safe.

I'm sensing more than a trace of sexual frustration in this story.

She was hot, I'll admit....
...Not as hot as my G/F though. I was really put off by her blind spot about homeopathy as well.
Great rack though.

What's wrong with fleecing the gullible?
Sounds like good business practice to me.
