"An Admirer Finds you Charming"
Well I should hope so!
I like the turns of phrases one finds in Fortune Cookies.
I try to imagine the life and work conditions of the people who come up with the little gems and bromides.
Do they work from home in their pajamas?
Do they write the fortunes on little slips of papers?
Does the cookie baker employ the writer or is he or she a free-lancer?
Does the factory outsource the writing work?
If the person works at the factory, do they eat a lot of fortune cookies? (and if so do they eat them before they get folded into that neat little shape?
How does this person get paid? Is it per fortune? And how much per?
Hmmmm.. and most curious...how do they come up with the lottery numbers they put on there?
