This week, while getting routine maintenance on the Toyota I drive, I strolled across the street to a Chinese buffet restaurant. When the meal was done, I was presented with this fortune cookie, and when I broke it open, I saw what you see above.
Yep, that’s a full-fledged period after “always.” Nope, this is not an AI’d or Photoshopped image.
I’ve never taken an interest in cookie fortunes aside from the curiosity they satisfy and the giggles their total irrelevance often give me. Yet I get a nagging sense of incompletion from the above message. What original message did the careless typist miss? Often the answer is something like “a dedicated wife.”
The Bible says quite a bit about being a worthwhile human being. Take a few minutes to glance down through the verses in the links below. They’ll recalibrate your manhood, or womanhood — and help you fill in the blanks before the “always” period!
