That's un-fortune-ate

By Todd Stadler · Monday, November 20, 2000 6:01pm

I guess my friends and I eat at Asian restaurants enough to have a running commentary about fortune cookies. They're interesting for embodying such deception - they're questionably cookies, they're probably not authentic Asian fare, and they're definitely not fortunes. It's this last point that really sticks in our collective craw. We're far beyond being entertained - misdirected, some would say - by the suggestion of adding "in bed" to the end of our so-called fortune. So I wrote a letter and posted it on Lowfashion. Clearly, as is so often pointed out to me, I have too much free time.
