The great fortune-cookie fraud

Well, I think you can find an information in some site that they show a recipe like fortune cookies like that. However, try to ask in some friend of you if they know the fortune cookie.

I haven't seen a good fortune cookie (meaning with an actual fortune as opposed to an ego boost statement) in a long time.

Whatever happened to ones like, "Money will soon come your way," that were followed by the waiter bringing back my change?

My favorite will always be "That wasn't chicken."

My favorites I first saw in an old DOS game...

"Man who invented baseball wrong. Man with four balls cannot walk."
and
"Man standing on toilet high on pot."

Decades ago, when they contained actual fortunes, I had two amusing experiences.

1) I was at lunch with the people I worked with, including my manager. I got a cookie that said "You will soon get a salary increase". I handed it to my manager. He complied.

2) This was just a case of fortune cookie writers being way behind the curve on evolution of English. I got one that said "You will meet an important person at a gay party.".

Well, did you? And was it actually a party, or a bar?

Nope. Met my most important person at work. It was just the unintended meaning that I will never forget. (Never actually been to a gay party; have been to gay bars and clubs with friends and coworkers).

I know. I just couldn't resist.

Hmmm, can't say I've ever been to a gay party or bar. Of course, I've only been in a bar about four times and I don't go to parties. So that limits things pretty well.

So I just went looking at fortune cookies sites and found this site:

http://www.fortunecookiemessage.com/

I kept clicking "open a cookie" and then this one came up - "Do not upset the penguin today"...what the heck kind of fortune is that? Did Penguinino hack the site?!

One of my Facebook friends just posted that she got a cookie without a fortune. She wants to know if that means she has no future. :

It's not good, I had a great life until the day I got a cookie with a blank piece of paper in it.
