Unhelpful

Yesterday I received the most unhelpful fortune from a fortune cookie ever.

One of the small joys of life for me is reading the fortune in my fortune cookie. It's one of those things that people read out loud to one another if eating Chinese in a group. "What's your fortune say? My says..." People either chuckle, stroke an imaginary beard to signify that the saying is wise, or shrug their shoulders and say, "whatever." There is always the guy who adds, "...in bed" as a tag line to every fortune.

But yesterday...yesterday I received the worst one fortune ever. I felt offended, pushed aside by the universe when I received it because it was so out of my realm of life experience. I kept it just to share it with you. Here's what it said, "Your lucky SAT answers are: a,c,d,a,b,b,c" No kidding. That's what the slip says. SAT? I'm not in high school and probably the vast majority of people eating these cardboard tasting cookies are not in high school. You can't even add "in bed" at the end of it and make it sound funny. It wouldn't make sense. The only equivalent fortune to this that would be so irrelevant would be if it read, "You'll be pregnant soon."

Don't put hope in fortunes. I know. I know. I don't. They are random but a note to all fortune writers for the fortune cookie industry...I can work with "You will find success soon" because I can adapt it to fit my situation...but SAT answers?

C'est la vie.

God, thanks for being much more dependable and relevant than fortunes from a cookie.

Thanks for reading
