Number of hirelings possible?

A Cheat! card can also allow an extra hireling.

I don't know about this. Most hirelings are not items. But the Cheat! post here does say:

It works with any other card or promotional item that specifically says, or comes with rules which specifically say, that you can use it to do something related to that card or promotional item (e.g., Hireling cards, T-shirts).

Does the bit in parenthesis mean hireling cards have text about the Cheat! card? My Box of Holding is all the way on the other side of the room.

The Need For Steed and De-Ranged rules say, "A Cheat! card can be used to give you an extra Hireling[.]" In both cases, this phrase is the in the section entitled "Hirelings and Cheating."

Cool. Thanks. I spend so much time referring to the Useful Links and Critical Information thread. I need to expand my regular reading.
