The order was received quickly: Shrimp with lobster sauce and a pint of mixed soup. The reason for the meal was the necessity to read my fortune. Some may believe in the Lotto or Powerball as the Alpha and Omega, but they haven’t had Tsin Long’s Mango-Flavored Fortune Cookies with baked-in Vitamin B-12. (Nor had they just watched two hours of Breaking Bad.)
A magnificent message from the gateway to all wisdom: A man without aim is like a clock without hands, as useless if it turns as if it stands. The divine oracle shouts, “In Bed!” and the interpretation game begins.
Fa Kew of Zhejiang was convinced it meant that this was a good time to buy CitiGroup at 98 cents a share. But he was cautioned by Jun Kain who said it was a gambit by the Gang of Four to bring back the Cultural Revolution (only with better product placement). Therefore Jun Kain said Fa Kew!, Fa Kew.
Finally Li Jung settled it. He returned the clock to the Friendship Store and bought a digital. This brought exceedingly good luck as it was defective and the numbers always shone 88:88.
Moral of the story: Fa Kew, Fak Mi.... It all turns to dust in the end.
