If a friend tells you they really do love you and, to prove it, they tell you they deposited $1 million in your bank account, how would you know if you should believe them? You check your bank balance, of course! If the million bucks aren’t there, you know your “friend” is not to be …
So, you’re jawing with a friend on the cell and happen to mention that you had a really odd dream the other night during which you were driving a sporty Tesla Model S through Hollywood. Then your friend says, “right, it was a red convertible and we had the top down.” Would that freak you…
