My wife recently made some Japanese food (rice, chicken, and veggies). It was delicious. But as we were shopping in the store to buy the ingredients, I posed this question: “Can you ever really enjoy a Chinese or Japanese meal without fortune cookies?” I think not.
So we picked up a small box of fortune cookies at the store when we were purchasing the ingredients for the meal. The meal itself was delicious, and as soon as I was done, I opened up my fortune cookie wrapper with the excitement of a young boy opening his first present. The fortune inside was awesome.
Here is a picture of my fortune cookie’s fortune:
That was the fortune I got. “Good health will be yours for a long time.” Wow. As I enjoyed the “oh-so-tasty” cookie wafer, I realized something: The fortune made me happy for a moment. Could it be true? Could good health really be in my future? No more hives?? Hmm. How nice…
Then a second thought occurred to me: “Good Lord man, get a grip. Has this Cholinergic Urticaria really brought me to this level? Am I at the desperate point where I now find encouragement and hope in the printed phrases of mass-produced (albeit delicious) cookies? Someone please help me!”
Just thought I’d share…
