Fortune Cookie Gems
« on: February 16, 2012, 09:43:25 am »
I'm a fan of Chinese restaurants. Lately I've gotten a couple of awesome fortune cookies.

First one said 'What is love'. Yes, I'm serious.  :D

The next one I got while I was out with my girlfriend. It said: 'He is the one for you.' Since I got it, my girlfriend proceeded to interrogate me thoroughly.  :o

Anyone else received any great 'fortunes'?

I got one with a printing error once. It just said "Duck" on it.

For a moment when I opened it I wondered if someone was telling me to keep my head down or this was some perverse and long winded game of duck duck goose gone horribly wrong.

In b4 mandatory "Fortune cookies are an American invention and not really Chinese" comment.

Best cookie has to be "Ignore previous cookie."
Although there have been some classic "in bed" fortunes, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Maybe the "D" is a typo.

My all time favourite is the blank fortune I got a while back. I had no fortune!

I used to have a collection of little sayings on my desktop. Didn't really work for motivating me so I lost them and didn't care after some hardware failure.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I like getting fortune cookies that are relevant to situations or affirmations for the moment that just line up really well. It happens all the time whenever we order Chinese food. It's bizarre, but awesome.

Fortune cookies aren't a thing in Australia. We have to get all of our Eastern WisdomTM from poorly translated instructions on party supplies.
