Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.
Any thoughts?
BTW, I'm at work, just had a veggie egg roll and veggie lo mein and I'm kinda bored. Anyone care to keep me company for awhile?

7. This could well apply to Bush's invasion of Iraq. |
|
If he had taken the time to let the UN find those elusive WMDs instead of rushing into his war as though time was not on his side, so many lives would not have been snuffed. Haste makes waste. Bloody waste.

12. Have you become a lawyer? |

Why do they call them fortune cookies anyway. Neither of mine told my fortune.

HE who waits to do a great deal of good at once, will never do anything. (OK, I get it.) You will be advanced socially, without any specific effort. (Oh goodie!) You have an active mind and a keen imagination. (Why yes, I do.)
I had chinese tonight and they always give me extra fortune cookies.

What did you order?
The whole office ordered out and I don't eat meat so it's a good compromise for everyone. We usually have that or Italian once a week.

you can find just about any ethnic flavor you like. Every weekend, you can go to a different ethnic festival.
I really enjoy Mexican — I do eat eggs and dairy, just not a lot. There's some excellent Mexican food around here.

I don't disagree with the fortune; but it's pretty clear that a lot of people value a fast answer over a truthful one.
Selection 2000 is proof positive of the fact. :beer:

19. Hmm, both are precious equally I would say. |
|
Maybe that guy or girl who writes those little cookie items needs a fortune of his/her own. Sorry, you have to work on Saturday night. I can keep you company for a little while.
