Which has no probative value at all.

At which point red flags were raised.

No, what threw the spanner in the works was that you couldn't state
clearly what your paranormal power was, claimed that you had won the
challenge and then proceeded to make threats about poisoning food.

For a very restricted value of "some".

I live in Tableland Road and I am putting my claim on the table. Pay
me $100,000.

Sorry, it doesn't work like that.

But you weren't applying for an apple. You were applying to be tested
for paranormal powers.

I have already told you that my grandfather lived in Kings Road and I
used to catch the train at Kingswood station. My pair of kings beats
your singleton. (And yes, I have been to Singleton.)

Did I mention that last night I drove past a sign pointing to Kings
Langley, and I was on my way home from Castle Hill? King. Castle.
Million to one.

Yes, scriptwriters do things like that. Did you notice that if you say
the name of the actor Eddie M quickly it can sound like Adam?

Adam met Eve in Eden. That town is on the south coast of New South
Wales. They used to hunt whales there but I will not follow that
thought up with possibly disparaging comparisons.
