I went to NYC for New Year’s Eve and did the Times Square thing. It was cool. I’d probably never do it again, but, I figured, no kids, why not? On New Year’s Day we went to Ollie’s, which is a pretty good Chinese place in Times Square. At the end of my meal, I opened my fortune cookie and it said “You would make a good lawyer.”
What does that mean??? To me, it meant “you are not now a good lawyer, but if you did something different, maybe you could be.”
No, I think you forgot to add the traditional “in bed” at the end of it. So it really was “You would make a good lawyer (in bed).”
Or an alternate theory is that you just got the cookie too late? Alternate, parallel universe? I don’t know.
Only you would receive a cookie like that at the same time you make the decision to break out on your own and interpret it as a slam.
Try this: You are not yet as good a lawyer as you could be.
