Fortune cookies
Tom is having a nice lunch with his wife at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the meal, they receive the traditional fortune cookies for two. Tom opens his cookie and reads the fortune. He realizes it is very similar to two or three other fortune cookies he has had recently. When the waiter comes by again, Tom asks, “If you receive the same fortune multiple times, does that mean it is more likely to come true?”
The waiter responds, “No, you eat lot of cookie.”
Here is my caption that I submitted to opinion.usatoday.com.
“I am trying to earn enough to move out by Independence Day or, my Mom says, there will be fireworks.”
Stop me if you have heard this.
A newly hired manager moves into his new office and meets his predecessor on his last day. The predecessor tells the new manager there are three envelopes in the drawer and he is to use one each time a crisis occurs.
Well several months pass before a crisis happens. The manager goes to the drawer and gets the first envelope. He opens it. It says :”Blame the predecessor.” He does that and the crisis passes.
Several more months pass before another crisis happens. The manager again goes to the drawer and gets the second envelope. This time it says :Reorganize”. So he does that and the crisis subsides.
Again several more months pass and a third crisis happens. This time the manager goes to the drawer and knowing this is the last envelope, he hopes it contains the final solution he needs.
He opens the drawer and opens the last envelope. The contents say “Create three envelopes”.
For centuries, humans have wondered why dinosaurs were extinct.
In the last century scientists correlated the date a meteor collided with Earth with the approximate date the extinction occurred. They theorized that the Earth was covered with a thick dense cloud.
In the last several decades, archeologists have found evidence that the dinosaurs are actually descendants of birds.
I have a different theory that explains why dinosaurs are extinct. Dinosaurs tasted like chicken.
