发帖数: 25759 | 1 A few weeks ago, a bag of fortune cookies caught my daughter's
eyes in an Oriental supermarket. Of course, you all know how
things tend to work out between three-year-old little girls and
anything sweet. So naturally, the cookies came home with us.
Unfortunately for the fortune cookies (or maybe fortunately, rather),
we have other snacks at home that are even sweeter, and that is
how they ended up in a corner of the kitchen cabinet, totally
neglected until I came upon the poor things about an hour ago.
Being one with a sweet tooth myself, I opened the jar and promptly
gobbled down six of them, and out came six little pieces of paper,
each sporting a nugget of pure wisdom. The first one caught my
attention right away: "You are careful and systematic."
"Right on!" I thought, and proceeded to the next one: "A good
friend will be seeking your advice soon."
"Not bad," I thought. A good friend from this board did seek my
advice a few days ago, so maybe I am supposed to have had that
cookie last weekend. It has to be my fault, and I apologize to the
fortune cookie gods for that. Clearly, this bunch of fortune cookies
are real experts at reading the cosmic signs, unlike those average
bozos from the Royal Palace restaurant on First and Main.
The third cookie offered a bit of a bold prediction: "You will have
an exciting addition to your life." Maybe it is referring to the
beautiful little painting I just bought at the OCEF auction on MITBBS?
I can hardly wait to find out.
Then came the truly good news in rapid succession:
"You will be very successful both in business and in marriage."
"You have the talent to accomplish your goals."
"Long life is in store for you."
Now, since the first couple of cookies obviously knew what they
were talking about, I figure their brothers and sisters cannot be
that off-base, either. Needless to say, I have been grinning from
ear to ear ever since the last cookie finished singing its crunchy
little song between my teeth.
In another 50-60 years, when my wife and I spend a cool million
(or two) to celebrate my 100th birthday, please be sure to drop
by for some caviar and Louis XIII. You are all invited. | o******g
