My son Benjamin has had remarkable, uh, luck with fortune cookies, as detailed here. Last night I received one worthy of him. It explains a lot, doesn't it?
I once opened a fortune cookie that said, "All of life's answers are right in front of you." I looked up and my Bible was sitting on the table in front of me.
Jay, however, is not so lucky. His latest fortune was, "You should be able to find success." Does that mean to say "You SHOULD be able to find success, so good luck and don't screw it up" or "You should be able to find success (said hesitantly and questioningly)"?
