i got this in my fortune cookie at the Chinese New Year celebration on Saturday.

uhh... that's not a fortune. that's like printing story problems on Laffy Taffy wrappers.

Unbelievable. You can't even use "in bed" or one of those suffixes when you read it.

I think that is a marketing scheme, not a fortune.

The whole point of the fortune cookie is the fortune - because it's certainly not the tasteless nasty cookie.

What a rip off.

one time I got one that said "alas, you are the apple of my eye". . . I've never been able to figure out who was speaking to me, or why they were so sad about me being their object of affection.

makes you want to go up and ask the teacher for another cookie.

"Um, Miss Ullaberry, my fortune cookie is lame...can I have another one?"

I hate fortunes like this, they just bug me. Sadly, the subject of stupid fortunes comes up quite often in my home. My dear husband thinks it would be better if they had helpful fortunes, like one that said, "Duck!" or "Incoming...." His seem to keep to a military theme. I just like the old fashioned kind that tell me I will be rich, successful and beautiful... you know all the really important stuff. :)
