   I was reminded of an issue of Tales from the Crypt, where a gold digger gets her fortune read from “the fortune teller who is always right”. The fortune teller’s first prediction was that the woman would lose her job (which she hated) but find another one immediately. She returns to work where her boss fires her over a minor matter. As she is walking down the street she passes a hostess bar where one of the waitresses is arguing with the owner and screams “I quit”. The owner sarcastically remarks “Oh no, what am I to do? Want to see how replacable you are?” then offers the girl’s job opening to the gold digger right then and there. Initially dismissing the fortune teller as a fraud, the gold digger is amazed and pays for her second fortune to be told; she would meet a beefy, uncouth man who would inherit a fortune, then he would die.
