shojun Level 13, Psychic (H$68,721)

It saddens me how far they've departed from the original story in the book. In it Danny Wallace (the actual author and person who says yes) decides to say yes to everything for 6 months. It has hilarious consequences and while there were some very awkward moments, the net result was very positive for him in the end. Ah well.
