I know a guy who doesn’t get out much other than for work and an occasional visit to a family member. He might be just a little bit hermitish (though I don’t think that’s a word).
One day he and another fellow went to a neighboring town to get items for work. They decided to stop and get some lunch at a Chinese restaurant. After eating their meal, the guy opened his funny little cookie. He thought it was nice that they gave him a cookie, and quickly put the whole thing in his mouth. As he chewed, he knew something wasn’t quite right. He pulled a narrow piece of paper out of his mouth and was surprised to see a prophetic message that read, “You will get a surprise!”
Wow! That was quick. I guess fortune cookies really do work!
(The guy really needs to get out more)
