So my sister and I have just been to see John Carter, and now we're getting us some Awesome Pizza and gelato to take home, just about to pay when whoa!--my credit card flies out of my hands and inserts itself directly into the crevice between two counters.
ME: Drat!
GELATO GIRL: Oh, no! That's never happened before! I'm so sorry!
ME: Not your fault. I think I sort of threw it, there.
GELATO GIRL: *peering into crevice* I see it! But I can't reach it. I'd need something like a pencil, but longer …
ME: *rummaging in bag* Like a magic wand?
GELATO GIRL: There is no need to be sarcastic—
ME: AHA!
GELATO GIRL: —Wait, you meant an actual magic wand?
ME: Yup! Mahogany with a maple handle!
MY SISTER: Why do you even have that?
ME: I like to twirl it when I'm thinking. Here we go …
*I wedge the wand between the counters. With a little jiggling I manage to pop the credit card loose*
MY SISTER: Hooray!
GELATO GIRL: Good thing you had that.
ME: Indeed! Seven years of carrying this thing finally pay off! Oh, they laughed at me—
MY SISTER: And rightly so.
ME: True. But it turns out you never know when a magic wand will come in handy!
… Now if only I could justify my ocarina …
ME: Drat!
GELATO GIRL: Oh, no! That's never happened before! I'm so sorry!
ME: Not your fault. I think I sort of threw it, there.

Yeah, I wave it and jab it and twirl it. I dunno, it just helps me focus. If it's true for other people, too, maybe there's a completely nonFreudian reason behind magic wands, after all! Granny Weatherwax will be pleased.
