Fortune Cookies

I love good Chinese food. But it is oh so hard to find.

But one of my favorite things about Chinese food is the fortune cookies!

GEVIV posted his fortune from this weekend.

But he missed the most important part.

After reading your fortune, you should follow it with the phrase in bed.

So let's use GEBIV's for example:

Your emotional nature is strong and sensitive...in bed.

My fortune from my first night in my first apartment after ordering Chinese (that still hangs on my fridge):

Wishing you the very best of luck in the many years to come...in bed.

Here are a few more I googled:

To be mature is to accept imperfections...in bed.

All your hard work will not pay off...in bed.

Find release from your cares have a good time...in bed.

Your future is as boundless as the lofty heaven...in bed.

Someone is speaking well of you...in bed.

Do you remember any of your fortunes?

My favorite fortune cookie story was about 8 years ago... one of the guys I worked with at the time was recently divorced and flirting with me quite a bit. We'd gone to lunch together to the food court at our nearby mall, and gotten Chinese (obviously).

At the end of the meal, we read our fortunes aloud. Mine said "You will be fortunate in everything you put your hand to..." At which Lance shot me a wicked grin and raised his eyebrows. I could see him mentally adding the words "in bed" to my fortune and processing the result.

I retorted "Calm down, Lance. It didn't say YOU would be fortunate in everything I put my hand to."

My mom once got a fortune that said:

"You will be hungry again soon - order take out now."

She had that one up on the fridge door untill the ink faded off it.

Instead of "in bed" we say "between the sheets". Same result, though....

I can't remeber any off hand, but I can remember laughing at them.

The only one I remember is "Stick with your wife".

Wait... that was from the Simpsons.

Nevermind.

OK, I had to start over. Darn thing wouldn't let me link a story about 110 people winning Powerball using fortune cookie numbers. Maybe I need to eat more Chinese food...

I had one that said, "You would make a good lawyer." What the hell kind of fortune is that?
