Two facts are certain about Mogey and Smush: 1) Smush was nothing if not an individual who loved his fortune cookies and 2) Mogey was one of the most forgetful people all the countryside over. These characteristics were no problem so long as they were kept separate, but when Mogey and Smush dined on chinese food, disaster oftentimes ensued. One of these "Kung Pao Catastrophes" as neighboring folk called them, occurred on a day much like today, possibly.
"How's your pork lo mein?" Mogey asked Smush.
"Delish!" Smush replied. "How is your egg foo young?"
"I don't know...what is egg foo young?" Mogey asked.
"Say," said Smush, as he rooted around the delivery box, "where's my fortune cookie?" But it was too late. Even as Smush uttered those words he looked up to see Mogey simultaneously reading and munching: a sure sign that he had eaten a fortune cookie. "No!" Smush cried. "You've eaten my fortune cookie again!"
"I ate a fortune cookie," Mogey retorted. "How do you know it was yours?"
"Mogey, you forgetful lout!" Smush yelled. "You ate yours before anything else! I can't take it anymore! I henceforth ban you from upside-down dinner!"
