Fortune Cookie Misfire
It was as fine a sentiment as any you'd get from a cookie: "You have good luck in your personal affairs."
Unfortunately, when my husband pulled the fortune out of the cookie, it tore in half. All we saw was, "You have goo in your personal aff."
We're just glad the last word wasn't "associations."
