Introduced by a group of Airline Managers in 1727, the Magic 8-Ball was an instant success. The Magic 8-Ball allowed Airline Managers to free themselves up from mundane daily decisions and focus on more important decisions such as scheduling their next vacation or figuring out how to get their retarded brother-in-law a job. In its infancy the Magic 8-Ball had only a six sided die that would dole out its prophesies with uncanny accuracy. The original six answers were; The stars say maybe So we use jets, right?

  • Introduced by a group of Airline Managers in 1727, the Magic 8-Ball was an instant success. The Magic 8-Ball allowed Airline Managers to free themselves up from mundane daily decisions and focus on more important decisions such as scheduling their next vacation or figuring out how to get their retarded brother-in-law a job. In its infancy the Magic 8-Ball had only a six sided die that would dole out its prophesies with uncanny accuracy. The original six answers were; 1. * Not today 2. * Outlook not so good 3. * Not even with your dick 4. * Probley! 5. * "The stars say maybe" 6. * Get you some of that (Later shortened to GYSOT) These six answers dispensed all the wisdom of the entire airline industry for nearly 80 years as Managers relied on the Magic 8-Ball's words of wisdom to quickly make important operational decisions that they themselves were not remotely capable of making. One of the more compelling arguments for the Magic 8-Ball's accuracy can be traced back to 1959 when the airline industry was forced to make a major decision regarding the transition from props to jets. With many companies very lives on the line, managers were faced with deciding on the old tried and true props versus the new and untested jets. The choice was clear and the Magic 8-Ball was brought in. With much pomp and circumstance every manager with every airline jammed into a small confrence room at a Motel 6 and one of the hookers (who's name is unknown) was asked to do the honors of shaking the Magic 8-Ball. With much jiggling of the jumblies, the Magic 8-Ball was shaken in a counterclockwise motion then rolled onto the table. As it came to rest on the table a hush fell upon the room, not a word was uttered for those tense 30 seconds until the Magic 8-Ball dispensed its prophesy. The stars say maybe As each manager looked nervously around the room for a response to the ambiguous answer, a lone voice spoke up, So we use jets, right? An agreeable roar erupted from the confused managers as they had their answer, and they owed it all to the power of the Magic 8-Ball.
