More News From The Inside Of Your Mouth

This was found in a fortune cookie served in a New York restaurant to my friend Rob:

What I find most interesting is the fortune's enthusiasm. I believe there are several possible reasons for this:

1. The simple fact of receiving a message from your teeth is exciting

2. It's exciting to receive a secret message from your teeth, because your teeth have always been notoriously indiscreet

3. The exciting part is not receiving a message from your teeth, nor that it's secret, but rather the soon-to-be-revealed content of the message: "We are going to stop eating food, and start eating you"

Wow. My dad found the same fortune in a cookie at a
Chinese buffet here in Wisconsin. He is missing a few of his teeth, which allowed for several theories on the meaning of the message which were all the more entertaining because the teeth could be anywhere, up to anything...

God:

Are you sure you didn't mean to send this message somewhere else? Pajamasmedia.com, perhaps?

And don't forget what you add to the end of ALL fortune cookie sayings...the phrase "in bed."

"We are going to stop eating food, and start eating you"

After I read this I took a short nap, and during the nap I dreamt of teeth eating me. It was oddly not as unpleasant as you'd think. I suppose that was the in bed part. Well done.
