Yeah, I normally seem to get lame-o idioms like 'Smile and the world smiles with you...' Sheesh, I'd rather the fortune cookie tell me to get my affairs in order soon.

Wouldn't it have been funny if earlier I'd gotten one that said 'Be careful what you wish for'?

when I got my job teaching at our local communtiy college, we ordered chianese to celebrate. My fortune said "you are ready to take on the world". I still have that fortune :lol:

I once got a fortune that said "Help, I'm trapped in a fortune cookie factory!"

I had it framed on the wall of my office forever.

My favorite has always been:

I've had that one in my wallet for the last decade. I am still waiting for it to come true.

I used to collect fortunes, not because they were especially funny or ironic, just so that I could get enough to wallpaper my bathroom.

I have a couple years' worth (which for me is a lot). I was going to make a lampshade.

BUT, my newest takeout place has crappy fortunes so I started tossing them.

I have way more than enough to do a lampshade. Maybe I could just get enough to decoupage my mini-fridge.

I dont like how all the fortune cookies at my local place give advice & are not fortunes.

I dont want to be told something like "smile & the world will smile back" that is NOT a fortune.

I even go by the handle "dawg" in real life. I was in San Fran in 2001 after a show and we all went out for Chinese. The place was closing but we bought our way in. Frigg'n stuffed our selves and tipped insanely well, (we were hippie rich and drunk) than I got the cookie.
