Humor is always good, Dee. We were just about at the end of our energy trail one night and I had struggled to get down every last bite of Chinese food for the first time in six months. We both were reading the fortune and at exactly the same time we both blurted out, "This is supposed to be your fortune!" and we passed them over. When we looked down at the other fortune...it was EXACTLY the same. We laughed for 20-30 minutes hysterically. We really needed that, too!
