No, I don't mean the Powerball. I don't do that crap.
Okay, once or twice I did, but it was only because a person who shall remain nameless living in a non-Powerball state begged me to do it for them.
No, I actually think fortune cookies are hilarious, and I often keep the ones that are most interesting or funny. Do I put any real stock by them? Duh, of course not. But I still think they're funny.
Yesterday I pitched a little surreptitious party for the seniors in my classes. Cindy brought two humongous boxes of P.F.Chang's spare-ribs and a bag of chips, and I provided the bread, dessert and pop. Since they were from Chang's, we got a whole bunch of fortune cookies with our order, so all of us grabbed about three each and opened them up. My three?
"YOU HAVE THE MARKINGS OF A WINNER"
"YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES ON YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS"
"YOUR LEADERSHIP TALENTS BRING YOU AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY"
Anybody get the idea that P.F.Chang's has hired a motivational speaker to write its fortune cookies?
