Disappointing Fortune Cookie fortunes
« on: March 01, 2011, 08:07:02 PM »
Tonight I got the following fortunes in my cookies:

1.  A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works.

2.  Great things happen when men and mountains meet.

To top that, the dictionary I used to check the spelling of fortune spells cookie Cooky.

I got a cookie once that said "You did something wrong.  Think!  What did you do?"

If that wasn't enough the cookie was totally stale.
"Heave Ho!"

I have an old friend who was told a few lucky numbers by a fortune teller in India in the 1980's.  He'd never played the lottery before, but decided to play the numbers for a nominal amount.  Of course, he won, about 100 dollars, and still regrets not having had more faith and wagered more.  The fortune teller had also told him the names of his and his wife's parents and had gotten them correct.

"You will find your Prince Charming."

I got that at two different restaurants.

The only "fortune" I have ever actually saved:

"For those who like peace and quiet: a phoneless cord."

It would occasionally fall out of my wallet and disappoint someone who thought I was carrying around an inspirational message.

I got "His eyes wander, but his heart stays at home."

I was like, "Who? That bastard."
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Disappointing is right!  Do not buy into this!

Shouldn't you be fired as a fortune-writer if you predict things that have already happened? Unless these are fortune cookies for doubtful conspiracy theorists.

It really doesn't inspire confidence in the cookie's freshness.

Typo, it was "man will LIVE on moon". But I have to think the only way you get fired as a fortune cookie writer is if you just start using profanity.
