Fortune cookie revisited

The happy faces do nothing to make me feel safer. I have never been over any great water unless the Rio Grande river counts, crossed the Mississippi by plane twice and whitewatered rafted down the Grand Canyon. I have never left the shores of America and don't see any great overseas trips. Everytime I read this I get chills and think I should look over my shoulder for death. -Honeybun
