Once upon a time, in the kingdom of New Asia, lived a king and queen. They were surrounded by all sorts of delicacies, yet they were still unhappy.
"I know!", said the king, "let us throw a royal banquet and invite all of our loyal subjects to enjoy the feast!" So the royal decree was issued and the entire kingdom came to the banquet - all 4 of them. The king declared that whoever could cheer them up, would be rewarded with riches untold, or a glass of water, whichever happened to be closest at the time. Hearing of the reward, the court jester stepped right up and had the queen smiling in no time.
However, this only made the king more unhappy. So, the king called in the royal prosecutorial attorney, who was extremely vicious and hadn't lost a case yet.
"I think he should be put to death," said the king, "by bunga bunga!" While the prosecutor liked to win her cases and agree with the king, she said, "King, I agree that he should be punished, but perhaps life in the dungeon would be better than that form of death."
While the king was pondering this thought, the defense attorney presented her case by smiling and pointing to her left eye.
The king was so moved by this defense, that he decided to only throw the court jester's left eye into prison.
However, right at that moment, they heard a cry for help. They ran to the edge of the king's castle, and found the king's adopted son being chased by the Great Green Red-Headed Whale!!! It looked like he was a goner!
The court jester, before anything else could be done, jumped in and saved the son. This made him a hero in the land of New Asia, and the king instantly pardoned the jester, and the party was resumed. The court jester was awarded the ceremonial Glass of Water, the riches untold were given to the prosecutor (hence the wealth of vintage $5 bills), and the defense attorney is still smiling and pointing to her left eye.
And the king's son became VERY good friends with the court jester.
But NOT in the way YOU'RE thinking!
And the king and queen were extremely joyful from that day on - you can see the joy beaming from their faces!
THE END
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The unabridged version: We had a great dinner together, had some great times laughing and catching up on things, we got to meet Kiley, who was the quiet one of the group, but with Ben and I in the same room, who could blame her? It was great to see everyone there, and we all talked about doing it again in the near future, maybe in another month or two, so hopefully more will be able to come. Thanks to everyone for coming and making it a very memorable night!
Oh, and we played a game of "in the bedroom." I almost for got that.
What? Oh, no, nothing like that! We were just reading fortunes from the cookies, you sicko!! ;)

oh, you guys, look like you had a blast.....
What part of story would I be.....maybe evil queen.....I don't know.....maybe next time we can find out.
Who know they had a karaoke bar at the Asia......you should have video taped that......would have been worth millions......
yeah, well we wont bother saying that thanks to paqguy's last time idea of ending the fortune cookies with " in the bathroom", Jen got a little mixed up and "accidentally" suggested ending the phrases with "in the bedroom". So, in an effort to avoid crudeness and the like, we, I, wont repeat that jens said something about "soon getting a rise out of your ambitions." or Kiley's saying that she "would use her creativeness and reap large fortunes" or mine saying that "i would soon find many pleasures".. it would just be wrong to remind you all to end these fortunes with "in the bedroom"...so ...course by the previous post ....i wasnt even there..so dont blame me. lol
by the way, graybeard..guess who was # 3800 ...thats right ole boy
well cthav, i think that if someone was to look back, and i mean way back, on their bookshelves, there probably is a video out there of some sorry choir dressed in white shirts and nice polyester maroon skirts......but i dont think that is worth millions to anyone except those trying to keep it hidden and obscure.....i take bank checks made payable to cash only
Jammin, Jammin, Jammin. When are you gonna learn that no one believes you anyway? "I wasn't even there"?!?! C'mon! Pictures of you hittng on Kiley, of your left eye - you were there and you know it, so don't try to play the innocent "I had nothing to do with the 'in the bedroom' thing"!!! And if you think anyone is going to send you a bank check marked cash, you must be crazy! No one I know or even don't know would be that stupid!!! (Who do I make that out to again?)
CT, I would never make you the evil queen in any of my stories. I just can't picture you in such a degrading role. How does wicked stepmother sound? You'd be perfect! ;)
And Jammed, you can wait at the airport with your 3800 til the cows come home....
