| | Widespread Mis-fortune
My friend, Wynn, came to visit me a few weeks ago (yes, people do come out to North Carolina) and we went out to a local Chinese restaurant. After paying the bill, he cracked open the first fortune cookie, read it, and scowled. Turning the fortune over to me, it read, "You will experience an impending crisis."
I laughed and offered him my cookie, consoling him that it would surely balance out with something positive. He reluctantly accepted the cookie, examined the new fortune, and gave me another dirty look. I had to laugh, because it read, "The truth hurts."
Apparently, he wasn't the only unfortunate one. The Wall Street Journal
just released a feature about this and people are reacting to the new
trend, with fortunes like, "It’s over your head now, time to get some
professional help," and "Perhaps you’ve been focusing too much on
yourself."
