Fortune Cookie Wisdom of the Day!

A nice walk today--blue skies and cooler temps--yet still warm enough not to need pants.

I was rather disappointed upon my return to my desk, however, when I popped open the fortune cookies--both were as limp and stale as the latest Elton John song. This unfortunate circumstance caused me to discard both cookies (sans fortunes) after only one awful bite.

BUT AT LEAST THE FORTUNES WERE FRESH AND CRISP!

To whit:

You will have a long and weal-thy [sic] life.

Whew. I was beginning to wonder about that. Now I can rest easier. I bet John Doe comes and gives me a million-dollar job!

Next up--

Ignorance never settles a question.

I don't know--seems to have worked out that way for a certain former FEMA director.

AND, now, your lucky numbers:

Daily Numbers 2 5 8
Lotto Six #'s [sic] 27 38 6 24 1 20

&

Daily Numbers 8 0 2
Lotto Six #'s [sic] 17 28 44 17 89 29

Can I use your lucky numbers when I buy my lottery tickets? You know that my retirement planning involves winning the lottery.

So far I am up to $24 since 1991.

Well, as long as you remember they are not MY lucky numbers, but are lucky numbers passed down through generations of inscrutable Chinese mystics.

I wish I was rich like you.

Sometimes I feel like Lil Abner who you can read about at comics.com. He thinks he is rich if someone gives him $5. I can barely keep myself in Diet Coke for $5 a day but I feel rich when I have the big bucks.

It's not so much that Lil' Abner thinks such things, he has Daisy Mae believing it, too.

Ahhh, Daisy Mae
