As a consultant I personally remember to bring my chrystal ball, magic
wand, quartz chrystals and bible. If none of those work I resort to
chicken and goat bones. I never used the chicken or goat bones yet because
they usually get the message after Mr. Wizard (my chrystal ball) makes his
assessment.
