What Are Her Powers, Exactly?

The fortune teller says, "Someone named Bill is desperately trying to contact you!" Broom Hilda says, "Bill? Bill? I don't remember anyone named Bill. Does he have a last name?" The fortune teller says "Collector," and Broom Hilda responds, "Him I know!"

OK, I guess Broom Hilda does not have the power to tell the future. I suppose, when you think of it, that fortune tellers and witches have distinct skill sets. I mean, if you needed to whip up a cauldron of an evil potion, you'd go to a witch, not a fortune teller, right? But, if you wanted to speak with your dead Uncle Ralph or learn what dead Mary Alice's secret was on Desparate Housewives, you'd go to a fortune teller, not a witch. So, upon reflection it's not surprising that Broom Hilda has to turn to another practioner of the dark arts.

What doesn't make sense is why a bill collector frightens her. She's a witch! Does she actually have to pay bills? Can't she just cast some sort of spell on this bill collector? Like make him forget that she owes him money or something? Or make it so that his left arm rots off? And what in the world did she spend money on? Does she have credit cards or something? What?

And note that she's walking out on the fortune teller, leaving perhaps another bill unpaid.

Broom Hilda doesn't know anyone named Bill? That seems a little unrealistic, doesn't it?

What is Broom Hilda's religion? Do Mormon's pay taxes? Do witches use AmEx? Why doesn't she just go with Capital One?

What a stupid bitch.

I figured it was becuase even witches are afraid of the bill collectors.

Kind of like how Hagar is always afraid of the tax collector. Doesn't he ransack castles? Would you really put that on your tax return? Wouldn't that be like a drug dealer declaring his earnings on the 1040EZ?

Ludicrous, that's what it is.
