I met a bunch of friends in NYC for a nice Chinese meal. During the idle chit chat over drinks one of the party asked how I was doing, and I said, "Well, aside from this little lump scare I had, everything's just fine". "Lump"? "Yeah, just a little something in my armpit, but it's nothing." We had a wonderful meal followed by the traditional fortune cookie. As I opened mine up, I dropped the real fortune in my lap and replaced it with Penn & Teller's fortune. Then, I gasped and got white as a sheet. Of course, all wanted to know what was wrong. I held up the fortune, and it said 'that lump is cancer'. Sick, twisted, demented . . . but the best practical joke of my life. Thanks P & T!!
