I hope I don't have to talk to HR

Snrky: I want a fortune cookie ending to the project.

Because, you know, all fortunes end "in bed."  Although Patheos suggests ending them with "in the biblical sense."  It's such a well-known trope that it's the first thing mentioned in the Snopes article on whether fortune cookies are Chinese in origin.  Which sort of implies you'd never expect to hear it uttered from a manager or project manager because it could misconstrued as sexual or potentially racist (along the lines of Chinese walls) but, you'd be wrong.
