    This has gotta stop

    I went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch - the meal was fine, but the damned Fortune Cookie fortune was written in Spanish - this political correctness BS has gotta stop.

    Several of the fellows at my favorite Chinese joint are computer experts. My collegiate son's computer was loaded with viruses from school, so we brought it along when we went out for Zombies Sunday night. While we were drinking happily, our friendly waiters worked their magic on the computer and fixed it up letting us know they put something on there so the problem wouldn't happen again. Last night we got a call from our son that "something" was going on on his computer "in Chinese." I forgot to tell what the guys told me, that particular program would run once in a while to keep things clean and not to worry about it. So....you never know when a foreign language might pop up.....

    Aren't they in Spanish so that the...

    ..."chinexican" cooks in the kitchen making them and who grew up in Tampico can make sure they put the same fortune in each cookie.

    I swear, even the waiters in the Chinese restaurants around here speak better Spanish than they do Chinese if they speak any Chinese at all other than "won ton".

    That aside, the "Chinexican" cooks still make up a great hot and sour soup.
