Mrs. G. and I enjoy Chinese take out on Friday Nights and it seems here of late that the cookies are getting wiser and wiser.

It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.

Any one care to critize?

Mebbe this is the start of a new branding/marketing campaign.

In my experience, I have found it is much easier to be critical than to be excellent.

i actually got this in a fortune cookie, printed just like all the others, not handwritten:

"you will soon become $8.95 poorer...unless you had the lunch buffet, which is 6.95."

honest and for true! i kept the silly thing and have it displayed near my workstation!

ah, the wisdom (and wit) of the orient!

This isn't a fortune cookie, but the theme is the same as Todd's "That wasn't pork."
