The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 18, 2024

Fortunes and desserts? I’d take it!

How unfortunate.

The box of cookies improves your chances of getting an accurate fortune.

Take the latter.

For 20 bucks? Better be a lot of cookies.

At least you can eat the cookies

She is a fortune teller and a pastry cook.

Cookies, me want!

For $10, he could buy a Magic 8 Ball and have enough money left over for a bag of cookies.

The no-frills option would be more accurate.

and half of them will be missing the fortune

A box of cookies for $10 bucks ? She’s no Girl Scout Brutus .

What a Deal! Nourishment and superstition!

make it two boxes and you have a deal…

The Deluxe package message – “A fool and his money are soon parted”.

$30 and you get the Chinese lunch special with an Alka-Seltzer Brutus. Gimmee and glass sweet tea. Love Chinese.bI think Brutus likes this hot fortune teller. He keeps coming back. What gives Brutus?

The deluxe reading wouldn’t be anymore.

Would these fortune cookies perhaps come in the chocolate chip variety?

then what would you get with the deluxe special then? :\

Brutus, you fortunes increase if you don’t give her any money! Spend it on a box of jelly donuts instead.

Splurge the $30.00, Brutus!

Equally accurate. Save your money. And btw just go to a Chinese restaurant for lunch – the fortune cookie is free.

She should know he can’t afford the deluxe.

Now that is funny……….. and unexpected………

Wow! How cheap can you get??

Same thing either way.

My guess is he will choose the box of cookies. They are probably more accurate anyway.

For $20, take the tour of the cookie factory in Chinatown. It’s fun

Take the fortune cookies, they’re probably just as accurate.

Actually, I’ll take the no-frills!

The problem with the box of fortune cookies is you can only eat one per day, otherwise you get mixed messages.

A box of fortune cookies only cost $3.98 retail, that is quite a mark up.

As B.B King might say:

The frill is gone. The frill gone away.

Is gone.

Probably more accurate than her palm reading.

A fool and his money are soon parted….

I love fortune cookies that have Lotto numbers in the back, I never won using them but I had a lot of fun. I bet you have as many chances of winning with them as a quick pick. Go for the fortune cookies Brutus.

Does the deluxe reading come with any kind of food? If not, I’d go with the no-frills reading.

Take the cookies, they will be just as good as she would be……
