Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The other night’s circumstances required late night chinese delivery. This led to the inevitable end of meal “fortune” cookie. I broke into it, ready to believe whatever the little white strip of paper would tell me. I read it. Frowned. It was an advertisement for American Airlines. “What the fuck?” I said. This is our world now? Big companies are taking over fortunes locked inside an always-stale cookie? Whatever happened to the old fashioned “take the leap and you will be rewarded.” At this point I’d even take a “Lucky numbers 2, 4, 7, 11, 15.” Anything but an advertisement. Pu-lease.
