WORST...FORTUNE COOKIE...EVER!
This is an INSULT cookie! By reassuring me that everyone else is also flawed, The cookie is telling me that I'm flawed!
And as if that weren't enough check out Marc's most recent fortune cookie:
It obviously should've been "advice" - with a "c" but they spelled it with an "s"
So again, not a fortune cookie, but rather a "grammatically incorrect" cookie! Marc simply can't win!!!

Fire destroyed the Sweetwater Casino, an iconic riverside restaurant and a linchpin of the township's sparse business community, early Monday morning.
The cause is unknown, but lightning from an overnight storm is a suspect, said Chief Gary Franklin of the Sweetwater Volunteer Fire Department. Residents of nearby houses off Seventh Avenue heard a tremendous thunder clap at about 2 a.m. The restaurant's fire alarm activated about 4:15 a.m.
The fire had consumed the whole building and had broken through the roof by the time firefighters from several township companies arrived minutes later, Franklin said. Co-owner Joseph Cavalieri said nothing inside could be saved.

Lick Hunger Ice Cream Challenge The Academy of Culinary Arts at Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing put together the Lick Hunger Ice Cream Challenge.
Culinary students unveiled their original kid and adult ice cream flavors. Judges selected a winning flavor in each category, and Lindy Hops ice cream stores will produce and sell the winners at their South Jersey locations in Galloway, Hammonton and Delran.
Proceeds from the sale of the flavors will go to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey-Southern Branch.
The students were encouraged to create exotic and unique flavors; the winner in the adult flavor category was Lemon Meringue by Randi Wallace of Cherry Hill.
The winning children’s flavor was Where’s the Beach, a concoction of Creamsicle swirl, salt water taffy bits and orange jelly candies created by Nancy West of Frenchtowm.
