On the fortune cookie watch

Dinner Sunday night at Mandarin Gourmet, up the street. We hadn’t calculated on the great crush of Mothers Day diners, but we were seated with dispatch anyway. And then came the fortune cookies. Two pretty traditional ones, a silly one, and a startlingly Silicon Valley one.

Traditional:

The near future holds a gift of contentment [Prophecy Style]

You deserve to have a good time after a hard day’s work [Advice Style]

Silly:

Reading your fortune out loud will bring you good luck

And the winner, for someone who’s a tech professional:

You would do well in the field of computer technology

(We did wonder about the would.)
