Lunch Question
I usually get Chinese take-out for lunch once or twice a month. I have been irked by two recent trips to get my chicken & garlic sauce. During each meal I've gotten two fortunes in my cookie.
If I could choose, I'm not sure which I'd select from today's repast:
You are going to have a very comfortable old age.
The star of riches is shining on you.
(The lucky number tie-breaker on the back is no help. Each has only one prime number.)
The former implies longevity and prosperity but it could just mean that I'll have a nice chair from which I can complain about my aching corns. The latter is just silly as I've never heard of the star of riches. But, I do not want to anger the double fortune gods, so I'll be buying a Powerball ticket tomorrow night.
Am I missing an angle here? In bed?
