    “. . . and with Mercury retrograde beware of tall dark strangers–hey, give that back! It’s MINE! Only I, Madame Souvlaki, mysterious lady of the East, astrologer extraodinaire—-only I may predict the news. You, journalists–you’re supposed to report it. Afterwards. Now give me back my crystal ball.”

    “Okay I admit it’s raining now. Give it back.”

    “No really, I need it in case another economist stops by. Give it to me.”
