March 20, 2004Fortune cookies: a misnomer
From last week, when something possessed me to buy a small bag of fortune cookies along with my lunch at Village Wok and see what all I had in store:
"Do something unusual tomorrow."
"You will have full contentment by summer's end."
"You have a deep appreciation of the arts and music."
"Good things are coming to you in due course of time."
"Your happiness is intertwined with your outlook on life."
"You have a deep appreciation of the arts and music."
"You outdistance all competitors."
"Cherish home and family as a special treasure."
"Any troubles you have will pass very shortly."
"You are compassionate and fun-loving."
Of the ten cookies, only three of them really contained fortunes. The rest of them yielded insights, suggestions, and flattery. Now I just eat Manischewitz macaroons (only 99 cents a tin at Ralph's right now with the Club Card). They're tastier, and they keep their opinions to themselves.
