Chinese Fortune Cookies Fortunes

Sign in to disble this ad
It seems I just can't bring myself to throw them away. A quick count finds 7 fortunes randomly scrawled around my desk. With fortunes from "Tomorrow will be a productive day. Don't oversleep." to "Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause." Op, just found 2 more. Anyone else have this problem?


"You will soon receive pleasant news of a personal nature." Score!

Ever since I got one while visiting NYC that said "I'm watching you. You can't escape. " I don't even read the fortunes anymore.

I got one that said "You make God sick." I just started outright eating them after that.

None of them are valid until you add "in bed" to the end.

W/this in mind, I got one that said 'You are about to make a very profitable transaction.' Sadly, it did NOT pan out.

My two favorites I've ever gotten...

"DDOOUUBBLLEE DDUUPPLLEEXX MMOODDEE EENNGGAAGGEEDD"

and

"Every man is the master of his own fortune" (the fortune cookie paradox that is)

When I used to do sound for live bands at a popular NJ sports bar, occasionally I would get Chinese take-out from the place across the street and eat it behind the mixer before showtime. One time I got a fortune that said "Delay is the antidote to anger"

I taped that fortune to the front of the Alesis Quadraverb next to the board.
