In
my ongoing quest to amuse, entertain and enlighten readers with sayings I find
on fortune cookie slips, here’s one that made both my youngest son and I not
only laugh but scratch our heads in puzzlement.
So what did it say? A carrot a
day may keep the doctor away.
Hmmm….
My
son got the most puzzled look on his face when he read this fortune. Noticing his look, I asked what it said. Rather than read it to me, he passed it to
me. Reading it myself, I, too, looked
puzzled. Both of us questioned aloud,
what the heck…?
Now
as I’ve experienced them, fortune cookie saying fall into one of several
categories: philosophical, predicting the future or downright
don’t-know-what-the-heck-they-were-thinking.
Not sure in which category this fortune would fall. Can’t say I’ve ever gotten the
an-apple-a-day-bit-of advice from a fortune cookie before. Does this mean the fortune implies what will
happen?
Hmmm….
Perhaps
this fortune is a hybrid that falls in none of the above-mentioned
categories. Instead it could be a
mixture of two: predicting the future and also the
don’t-know-what-the-heck-they-were-thinking ones.
LOL.
