Wanda Hildgarten, a dyslexic east side fortune teller was arrested last week by New York City police after customers complained of being told stories of their past, instead of predicting their future.
"She read my palm from right to left, instead of left to right", complained one consumer.
"She said my life line predicted I was headed straight for the womb. I mean, I've already been there! And to think I paid good money for this", said another.
Police closed in on Wanda in an undercover sting operation which found all her tarot cards facing in the wrong direction. When asked to predict the outcome of the upcoming Fall 2008 presidential election, Wanda grinned and confidently exclaimed "Hoover will win".
Ms. Hildgarten was arraigned in night court, and released on her own recognizance, with a promise to give up fortunetelling. She is currently fielding offers from the "Weather Channel", who get it wrong most of the time anyway.
