Well, I was going to say "You really think those numbers are lucky?" but after reading the whole article and realizing they actually were, I got nothing.

It seems like all chinese food places have gone to those nasty orange fortune cookies. They are nothing like the old ones.

Stay home and eat all the freakin' chips, Kip

I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.
