Has anyone but me noticed the bulls$%t they are throwing in "Fortune" cookies these days? These aren't fortunes! These are stupid statements or observations.
I eat a lot of Chinese food, and hate that this is happenning. How am I supposed to judge how my next couple days is going to go without my actual, unique to me fortune? Where is the science? Where is the magic? I don't want to know that my smile enlightens those around me... I want to hear that financial success beyond my wildest dreams is around the corner.
Screw the observation that hard work will pay off... Duh! Give me some clue as to how that meeting is going to go tomorrow! Or if I should take that trip we were considering.
Answer some damn questions.
Watch... Lake Pirate is going to come on and explain that this is is a symptom of an autocratic society, and if we would just divert some money from the unjustified war on terror to the clairvoyance societies of the TCRA (Tarot Card Readers of America) my problem could be solved. ;)

Maybe the fortune cookie companies don't want to get sued if prediction type fortunes don't come true to a consumer's liking ... :idea: ... I wonder if anyone has ever tried to and if they could win that kind of suit? I've heard of some pretty strange suits being filed and won. :rolleyes:
Prediction fortunes were more fun, IMO.

Froggy, you're reading the wrong side of the paper. The fortune is on the back. You know those six numbers you use when you play the lottery. And if you play the Lottery, you will lose. There's your (mis)fortune. Problem solved......

Fortune cookies:
* The greatest danger could be your stupidity.
* There's a reason Mexican restaurants don't offer fortune cookies.
* Man cannot live on big boobs alone.
* You will be hungry again in one hour.
* Everything is preordained - including this fortune.
* Everything is not yet lost.
* You can please yourself like no other.
* You have the equipment you need - use it wisely.
* You love Chinese food.
* Rest is a good thing but boredom is its brother.
