What a fortune,,,,,Cookie

We went to the new Asian Grill / Buffet the other day. The Sushi was pretty good, and my sinuses are still clear after a little too much Wasabi. As soon as it looked like we were heading to the dessert table, a cute little Asian girl zoomed in with fortune cookies and the bill. I've often wondered if there is some sort of mental sonar they use? Or do they just count the plates you took, apply an algorithm found in an Apple, and divide by 3? But i digress.

Now i don't put a lot of stock in the fortunes found inside those cookies. But this time, as i broke it open and read it while using a piece to scoop some ice cream out of its cup, i realized that this one could be a real life changer. Something that might really come in handy in life. The answer to so many of life's nagging puzzles.


If your cookie is in 3 pieces, the answer is no.

I looked down and sure enough i saw three pieces. This had to be a sign. Some spiritual awakening that would serve as a guide for the future. Just think of all the questions in life that this simple fortune could solve.

Will giving that winning Mega Million ticket to that oddly dressed stranger that smells bad, make me happy?

Should i play Mario Andredi on the local side streets and leave the local cops in the dust?
Would putting the q-tip in my power drill clean my ears really good?

Should i quit my job, move to a mountain cave, and contemplate my navel (one I've seldom asked)??

As i pondered these deep quandaries, the melting ice cream began dripping down my hand. I looked down and realized that a fourth piece of cookie had fallen into the ice cream cup. So much for all the answers to life's nagging puzzles. I guess i'll keep wondering like my hero, who is still sitting on the 12th floor of the Acme Building trying to find the answer to life persistent questions, Guy Noir.

Got Gas ?

No, not the type you get from indigestion, but what powers yourgot gas0310111 car.  We filled our 2 Jeeps earlier this week when the price here on the VA eastern shore was $3.39/gallon.

Bad enough then – but yesterday here’s what a local station posted – other nearby stations posted $3.44/gallon.

And, don’t you just love hate the 9/10th that gas stations always add at the end? It’s like saying something is priced 0.99 – and we all know that’s NO bargain.

HOW are gas prices in your part of the U.S./world?

Ears a Question

Easter is almost here.
And it's time for an important question.

Are you ready for it?

OK, here goes...

Do you eat the ears off the bunny first?
