at lunch yesterday, tony drank a crème soda. he wanted it to be a raspberry crème soda, but they only had diet raspberry crème soda, and he explained that any carbonated beverage that's labeled "diet" is innately evil, so he got a regular crème soda and made the rest of us vow to never again drink beverages with fewer calories than other beverages.
sadly, i don't remember the brand of crème soda he drank, but i wish i did, because i would link you to it so you could enjoy life as much as we did.
i don't know, maybe we eventually became boring and he was trying to find something else to concentrate on. regardless, tony decided to read the underside of the bottle cap, which, in very tiny print, advertised the fact that the fortune written there was an authentic fortune, and if you so desired, you could submit a fortune to be printed on the undersides of future bottle caps.
for real ... that's a lot to write under a soda cap, but there was more: the fortune. it read: "buy a stranger a meal." tony quickly deduced that since we were having lunch with him, we weren't strangers, and we laughed at him.
then he said, "i'm gonna do it. i need to build up my positive karma store." with that he stood up, walked to the middle of the line of patrons, and approached a woman. he showed her the cap, she read it, and he handed her $10. at first she didn't take it, but he somehow assured her that he wasn't insane.
random acts of kindness are bizarre to watch. leaving, we all hoped she didn't get food poisoning.
