Know Thy Fortune
A compendium of fortunes from tonight's Chinese dinner:
-Finish your works on hand. Don't be greedy.
-Attend to business today. Leave that street-side flower alone.
-Life is like a dogsled team. If you aren't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
I especially enjoyed the last one. I've always wondered if their comicality stems from bad translations or just really random (and seemingly unconnected) thoughts that one would seem to have when high.
Oh, and btw, my fortune was the second one. So guess I have to watch that street-side flower :)

Have you seen the Simpsons episode where Homer writes these? Just think if Homer Simpson were the writer...all would be explained.
Though I have an even better idea these days about what sorts of "writing" goes on in "English" these days - and we don't even get to change much more than spelling mistakes in some cases as with one well known hair care products producer.
