Ann Curry goes bananas at Beijing restaurant

BEIJING — Anne Curry absolutely flipped out Thursday evening at a Beijing restauarant, when the waitress neglected to serve her the customary fortune cookie that concludes a Chinese meal in the United
States.

“You forgot something, and you felt sad,” Curry asked the waitress in her special question-by-statement style. When the waitress stared blankly, Curry asked, “You would like me to have good fortune.”

However, the waitress still did not make any sign of comprehension, at which point Curry went totally nutso.

According to onlookers, Curry told the waitress, “If Ann Curry of the Today show does not have an individually wrapped, neatly folded fortune cookie with a tiny bit of Chinese wisdom in her hands in
thirty seconds, you are going to be using broken fingers to pick your teeth up off the floor.”

The waitress panicked and began to search for fortune cookies to no avail. However, crisis was averted when Matt Lauer informed Curry they he had 3000 fortune cookies delivered to his hotel before the trip.

“Standard operating procedure,” Lauer said.
