I really liked my fortune cookie fortune last night:
THE SKY'S THE LIMIT THIS MONTH
Early this morning I recalled the fortune
And the fact that while we were waiting for dinner to arrive
I got the best Boggle score so far by far,
And mentioned this to Tobey in connection with the fortune
A while later, after we got up,
One of the headlines on today's front page read:
"Soon, military top guns may be women
The sky may be the limit
Under rules before Congress"
And Tobey agreed that this was coincidental
Before we had gotten up
I had turned on the TV
(We never watch TV before we get up)
And started flipping through the channels.
At one point I changed the station
From an old black-and-white movie
That was on for a few seconds
And Tobey complained.
It was a Fred Astaire movie
Where he's a fighter pilot in "The Flying Tigers"
And falls in love while on leave
But conceals his identity from his girlfriend.
Though it was already late,
We ended up watching the rest of the movie
Instead of getting up.
After the movie I said to Tobey
"We don't even know the name of the movie.
Maybe it's `The Flying Tigers'."
Neither of us looked to see what the title was.
Several hours later I was looking through TV Guide
And decided to see what the title of the movie was:
"The Sky's The Limit"...
