Why? Burlgle is a perfectly cromulent word.

THAT's obscure???

"Cromulent" is about as obscure as "take the blue pill".

FTA: Minutes later, officers stopped Middleton, who was walking down the street, and he dropped various coins and a prison identification card, Ashley said.

Note to self: when committing crimes, leave prison identification card at home, or at prison.

Perhaps they did get their fortune and it was: "The fortune you seek is inside another cookie"

/real fortune.
//got it and showed the manager and got another free cookie.

"Two fortune cookies helped Tulsa police make an arrest after a pair of break-ins Chinese restaurants."

Top notch editing.

They caught this guy "with more than $20 in coins". It's the "more than" part that tickles me.

I do not condone breaking into other people's property or stealing, but $15,000 bond? In this case I doubt if anyone would cough up $500 bond for him, but still.

This guy only had a prison ID. He's a fair example of how our for profit prison system perpetuates itself, at least on the surface.

If you get put into a cage for a long enough time, you will most likely lose anything you have worked to gain financially while you're in there.

When you get out, you continue to get punished (discriminated against) by society, even though you've "paid your debt" to it. This gives a person more of an incentive (desperation) to commit more crimes.

I wonder if more effort had been at teaching this man how to function without breaking the law whether or not he'd be back in jail. Unfortunately, that would be counter productive to the prison lobby. That individuals profit off of this (paid for with our tax dollars) is sickening.

Thus, we continue to focus on punishment instead of rehabilitation and the cycle continues. It even spreads beyond the individual in the cage to those he might have had the responsibility to support, which puts them at risk for the same type of behavior. This keeps the cycle going from generation to generation.

Unrelated: my favorite fortune from a cookie is "Help! I'm being held prisoner in a Chinese cookie factory!" Came with lucky numbers and all!

I used to tell people that it was fun to add "in bed" to the end of your fortune.

"You will find great riches"...in bed.

"A Warm Heart Makes Happiness"...in bed.

Then I got a fortune that said:

"You will find happiness serving your parents."

Oooo, you're tempting fate by defying the cookie gods!

That's pretty dang funny though.

"Cromulent" is about as obscure as "take the blue pill".

I thought King Something was saying that "burgle" was obscure, not "cromulent" I'm pretty darn sure that no Simpsons reference is obscure on FARK!

I had a fortune cookie that said "Love is waiting for you". I thought I was in shiat at work again because Love was the last name of my boss. He got a laugh out of it and I wasn't in shiat. That day anyhow.

My mother refuses to open fortune cookies ever since she got one that was blank. Freaked her out.

Robbing Chinese food places is bad karma, man. Anyplace with a big red-faced guy with a giant chopper as a guardian spirit, I want to stay on their good side.

He went to the wrong type of restaurant. I would of went out to burgle a burger.
