At the end of a Chinese meal the other day, I received two fortune cookies inside one pack. I figured it had to be an incredible omen, and quickly cracked them open, ready for my enlightenment.The first one said, “Success is a journey, not a destination.” Uh, thank you, Hong Kong Noodle Company, for the Aerosmith lyrics.
The other one was a mini language lesson: how to say “to shave” in Chinese. Yeah, that’ll really help me in a pinch in downtown Guangzou.
As I write this at 1 a.m. Pacific Time, I challenge you, fortune writers, to break even the tiniest sweat in your efforts. Legions of Jews on Sunday nights are counting on you.
