March 2 - Fortune Tellers

Came across this stall advertising for customers who want their fortunes told. Couldn't help but notice that there is a sliding scale of fortunes.

Would you like a 3000 won fortune, a 5000 won fortune or a 10,000 won fortune?

That made me wonder what the difference is ....

10, 000 won
1. The proverbial rich, handsome, genius and generous husband.
2. Intelligent, musical and beautiful children - number of your choice.
3. A mansion by the sea or in the mountains - again your preference.

5000 won
1. A husband with any two of the features listed above but assigned at random - this isn't a 7000 won fortune you know!
2. Children - prosaic two, a boy and a girl, one for each. Will be randomly gifted with either intelligence or artistic qualities, relatively good looking.
3. An apartment in Seoul.

3000 won
1. A husband - but he will be ugly, poor and stupid, however he will be generous with his stupidity ...
2. Children - a random assortment beginning at 1 and ending at 8 ... if you toss in another 1000, multiple births could be acquired to cut down on the number of pregnancies required ...
3. Living quarters - they will exist ...

Ok so I'm being satirical - however I have two opinions about fortune tellers:
a. Either, they don't actually know anything about the future but do have great imaginations so I'm not going to waste my money on them,
b. or, they are being guided by the devil in which case I want absolutely nothing to do with them!!!!
