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.
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. :)
uhh... that's not a fortune. that's like printing story problems on Laffy Taffy wrappers.
Yet more proof that chinese fortune cookies really are american
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable. You can't even use "in bed" or one of those suffixes when you read it.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a marketing scheme, not a fortune.
ReplyDeleteThe whole point of the fortune cookie is the fortune - because it's certainly not the tasteless nasty cookie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a rip off.

ReplyDeletemakes you want to go up and ask the teacher for another cookie.
ReplyDelete"Um, Miss Ullaberry, my fortune cookie is lame...can I have another one?"
