It’s good. It’s yummy. It comes with a fortune cookie.
Or, does it? This evening my friend James and I went to a Chinese “restaurant” called “Wok & Grill,” located in Irvine, CA at Irvine Center Dr. and the middle of nowhere, just east of Jeffery. They are fairly new. They have fantastic food! Go there, try it, and tell them we sent you. It is in the middle of nowhere, after all.
So, we eat this awesome meal. And, we finish it with the infamous fortune cookie. Delicious and you get a present! What more could you ask for?!
An actual fortune?
Allow me to share with you the fortunes we received:
Isaac’s fortune:
You have great physical powers and an iron constitution.
Okay, first, this is a statement, not a fortune. Secondly, hehe, if this cookie had ANY idea who it was dealing with, it would know “physical” and “constitution” do not fall under my realm.
James’s fortune:
You will always gets what you want through your charm and personality.
Same thing. First, another statement. ALMOST a fortune. Secondly, no offense, but if you know James, you can have a chuckle at the mention of being a socializer.
Now, not that I expect for the fortune to come true, or even count on it to plan my day (the “Lotto” numbers on the back really help it’s credibility, too!), but I would still like a moment of entertainment, which experiences like this come as a sore disappointment. And it is becoming more and more common to find cheap and quick “fixes” to situations like these. If you are going to bother trying to entertain, do it because you love it, do it because you want to put all your energy–don’t cheapen it by doing it quick and sloppy.
