Words Of Wisdom

When I go to a Chinese restaurant and get a fortune cookie, that's what I want. A fortune cookie. NOT a statement cookie. I want to read something like, "You'll soon be getting a big wad of cash" not: "You are a nice person."

The other day I got one of my favorite statement cookies ever:

"Sometimes the wisest person wears the rudest clothing."

That's the best. What exactly, say, does a rude shirt do? Stick out its tongue? Curse as you walk by? And how exactly does it make you wise?

Well, we figured that it was a translation thing---rude meaning basic, perhaps; or crude, mean, base, poor. Regardless, I like to think of it as the rude we know today. It's much funnier that way.

Despite the entertainment value, however, I still prefer the wad of cash. Thanks anyway, though.
