Fortune
Mom #3116: “You will have an exciting experience tomorrow…”
Worker #3116: WAIT!
Mom #3116: “in…”
Worker #3116: DON’T!
Mom #3116: “bed. Heh heh.”
Worker #3116: GOD DAMN IT, MOM. I told you not to do that. I told you that that joke is totally out for 2005. Just like it was out for 2004, and 2003, and all the other years since you started doing it.
Mom #3116: But it’s funny.
Worker #3116: No. It’s not.
Mom #3116: Well, what should I do.
Worker #3116: You can say “at work.”
Mom #3116: At work?
Worker #3116: Yeah.
Mom #3116: “You will have an exciting experience tomorrow, at work.”
Worker #3116: See. That’s a good fortune. You spend a lot of time at work, it will be nice to have an exciting experience there.
Mom #3116: I thought “in bed” was funnier.
Worker #3116: Yeah, and you thought Meet the Fokkers was “a laugh riot.”
Mom #3116: What does your fortune say?
Worker #3116: “The path to success is often a lonely one.”
LONG PAUSE
Worker #3116: [Sighs]. Well, then I must be on it.
Herb #3116: HA!
