Fortune Cookies For the 21st Century

The heart, that unimportant town you must avoid
to get somewhere else more efficiently.  Don’t follow it.  
It is a Sunday driver at best.
 

The devil knows all your phone numbers.
They are legion.
 

On the freeway, don’t leave any empty space.
Why should you waste our resources like that?
 

If you are calling about the American Dream, press 1.
All other inquiries, remain on the line.
