How does the author use foreshadowing in Trouble Is My Business?

Imagery:

"I need a guy who can act like a bar lizard and backchat like Fred Allen, only better, and get hit on the head with a beer truck and think some cutie in the leg-line topped him with a breadstick" (Chapter 1, p. 9).

"Burn a guy's feet to make him sing and then walk right into the parlor of one of his pals" (Chapter 8, p. 108).
