"Where did you get the fortune cookie?" asked 'Kate'
"There was a really spunky guy handing them out in the mall!"
"Oh! You should have got his number!"
Sally is a single girl, pretty and very sweet natured. Being handed a fortune cookie by a handsome stranger seemed like an omen! We all joked about 'accepting sweets from strange men' and I asked if he'd told her he had a puppy in his car that she could pat! She answered that he was so spunky, she would have followed him to his car, puppy or no puppy!!
The conversation died down and from the other side of the partition, I heard the snap of the fortune cookie as she opened it to reveal her destiny. The snap was followed by her horrified cry!
"That's terrible!"
"What does it say?" asked Kate, getting out of her chair to see what horror the fortune cookie had revealed. She took it from Sally and her face creased into hysterical laughter!!!
By this stage, I am doing the old "prairie dog" stance to see what is going on. I asked Kate to read it out, she was laughing too hard and simply handed it to me.
"he's just not that into you!"
Just then, the woman with the disagreeable jaw came over and hissed at us to be quiet.
Poor Sally.
