It's been over two months since there was a thread similar to this, so I guess it would be okay to start new one. Would rather have a fresh look with this instead of necroing the last thread.
----------------------
Topic at hand: I've had a couple pretty funny fortunes lately, and I'd just like to see what's been popping up since the last fortune cookie thread.
For me, the last two Sundays, my friends and I went to the same Chinese restaurant. I really don't like Chinese food, but this place is so good it changes that point for me. It also gets major points for having fortune cookies that have actual fortunes.
First Sunday's fortune: Lucky is coming your way.
Now my first thought was that it was typo and it should have been "Luck", but who knows, I might be walking down the street and someone will tap me on the shoulder and say their name is Lucky.
Second Sunday's fortune: Keep your plans secret for now.
I joked with my friends and said, "hmm, how did they know I was an evil genius with secret plans?" Then I said, "I'll comply with the fortune, but it will probably be some time yet before my secret plans come to fruition.....because Lucky hasn't shown up to help me with the plans."
On another point: I can't stand the so called fortune cookies that some restaurants have. The place my mom usually orders in from, gives cookies that should be called philosophy, stupid, or just plain "duh" cookies.
Examples:
Well-arranged time is the surest sign of a well-arranged mind.
Balance life with a little sweet and sour.
The key to a problem is usually the ignition key.
We must not become complacent over any success. (Who the heck is the other person in this "We" it speaks of?)
Good bakers always make plenty of dough. (Is this philosophical, or is it telling me I will make a good amount of money if I become a baker?)
And finally, my favorite non-fortune I got:
Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.
So, what fortunes have you been getting lately? Are they funny, scary, just plain stupid, or are they fortunes at all? Joking observations are definitely welcome. Have your fortunes come true? Mine haven't yet.
