They sit at their usual table at Sum Dow's. He orders what he always gets-- the General Tso's Chicken and she gets the Moo Goo Gai Pan because she's never had it before.
They have been chit-chatting for fifteen minutes when their meal arrives. She decides to wait until after they eat, it will be better then. She doesn't want to spoil dinner. Then she considers if there is ever really a good time to tell one's husband you are having an affair?
He passes her the lo mein and says, 'So, what was so important that you wanted to talk to me about?'
'Well,' she says, 'It's something I've been meaning to talk to you about for some time.'
Then nervous, she grabs a fortune cookie from the bowl in the middle of the table, smiles at him and says, 'Hold on.' She opens the fortune cookie and it reads: 'Only report good news or no news at all.'
'Well,' she says, 'I've decided to accept the promotion they offered me.'
'Oh hon,' he says, 'that's great news! Great news! I knew you could do it!'
