Hidden messages...

I have taped up a few fortunes I've found entertaining here at the office. The best one I've ever gotten says, "The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well." If you think real hard about it, it probably means that there are NO normal people, but I prefer to think that I just don't know any of these supposedly normal people. Life's much more interesting when you're strange - seriously.

I also get little messages inside the Dove chocolates I buy. One of them said, "try something new this weekend." Okay, like what? I am fairly adventurous, and I have tried a lot of things. Any suggestions?

These messages also got me thinking about who really writes them? Is it some 5 year old kid in Chine being paid 50 cents a day? Maybe a 90-year-old woman in Fargo, North Dakota...dontcha know?

And what would happen if that person was having a REALLY bad day when they were thinking of new things to put on their packaging? Would I open a delicious caramel filled Dove only to find the message "It's only going to be downhill from here" or "It's all a lie." And what if they were feeling violent? Would I get the message, "Guns rule"? I suppose they could have a great sense of humor and try to creep me out by putting "We're watching you." on the package. Sorta reminds me of the label on my roommates sweater that says have fun washing! What is that supposed to mean? Is it a threat? Is it a promise? Or is it just their way of saying that you can wash it however you want?
