Anybody care to stop around and read a fortune cookie over coffee.

Before you say yes . It may take awhile to get to the fortune cookie part as will have to wait on Dunc the golden chunk to produce.
Reasoning behind the wait is yesterday as i was in the kitchen cleaning the counters.
This seventy nine pound furry long eared galoot counter surfed a Chinese takeout fortune cookie and then proceeded to haul ass out of the kitchen with his score.
I once read a meme that said. There is no faster land mammal than a dog, when you ask ( what do you have in your mouth) the conversation yesterday went.
Me - After catching the golden shit head out of my peripheral vision. Hey what are you doing you drop that.

Dunc - Doing the side eye front paws on counter then takes off out of the kitchen for living room.
How do i know it was a fortune cookie, he spit out the wrapper on floor after eating it. Yet no fortune cookie paper.

Still, the skill of getting the cookie and spitting out the wrapper without opposable thumbs, well that’s a talented chunk!

I can sit and enjoy coffee with you but waiting for the fortune may be futile.

Probably best to just decide that whatever that piece of paper had printed on it... wasn't meant to be. Perhaps you were spared a great injustice or something.

If it said, "When an opportunity presents itself, one must act quickly", then the chonk was destined for that cookie. And he admirably fulfilled his destiny.
If it said, "You snooze, you lose", then you apparently fulfilled yours.

Even take the time to read his fortune.

I'd take the coffee, but Dunc can keep the cookie. 🥠☕️
