I was visiting one of the “Big 3” with a startup client of mine the other day, and we had lunch at the cafeteria. Having had the excellent asian cuisine menu selection, we took a few fortune cookies.
The CEO of the company got this “fortune”: ''Unexpected offer deserves serious consideration”.
There was no termsheet on the back of the paper...
But we considered it priceless anyway. Talking about subluminal messages…
PS: True story, I swear.
When I first visited the USA, in 1993, I had my first fortune cookie, having only seen then in films and on TV as I was growing up. Before I opened mine, the locals assured me that the fortunes are always better if you add "in bed" to the end of them.
Hey, that works here too!
Cheers, Tony.
