Fingerless

Lets talk about me.

Let's discuss my fortune.

The fortune I received from Fingerless. A name he goes by - so I am being politically correct.

Fingerless is a chef at a local Turkish establishment that J and I like to go to.

I don't know why he doesn't have any fingers - but because I am who I am....I can only make up a grand story.

I think - as he was growing up in Turkey - he led a life of crime. I bet he was a thief. A thief who was caught. Then brought out to the middle of the town square where his fingers were immediately chopped of with a huge machete. His hand was then raised over his head and the man with the machete pointed at all the little children watching....I will cut your fingers off too if you steal from me!!!!

So - that's what I think. Doesnt matter that he doesn't have any fingers...The man can cook. Everything he prepares is delicious. I could eat it every day.

He probably did a stint in the Turkish jail and they probably put him in the kitchen where he perfected his craft of Stuffed Grape Leaves and Lentil.

Along with a perfect meal - you can order a Tukish coffee. A coffee served in a expresso cup. Although sweet it resembles sludge and you must not take a huge gulp of it or you will be chewing on grounds.

After you have sucked the final bit of moisture from these grounds - you can have them read.

Fingerless will flip your tiny cup onto the plate and after watching a few minutes of a Turkish gameshow will return and give you your fortune.

The lump on the plate tells him how heavy your heart is. If there is a large lump - your sad. Sad heart. Very sad.

The he picks up a knife and starts to point out the inside of the cup.

I am gonna to get a dog. A white dog.

I am going to come into money - A lot of money.

Fish - he sees fish in the grounds. Fish are good. Fish means money. Lots of Fish!!!!

Then he counts the drops on the plate.

1-2-3-4 - Four drops.

This means - 4 days - 4 weeks - 4 months - 4 years. I dunno.

But - All of these things will come.

I am so excited - When are they going to come.....!!!!!

Again he says - 4 days - 4 weeks - 4 months - 4 years.

I dunno.
