My fortune told me that I was gonna have sex with a Chinese woman but I'd be horny again in an hour.

Unfortunately, fortunes seem to have stopped being fortunes of late. 99% of fortune cookies I get would be more accurately described as "comliment cookies". They no longer predict your future and bring good tidings, but rather pat you condescendingly on the head and send you scampering away like a good little boy. "You are a good friend and companion." "People look to you for advice." Feh. I want vague self-fulfilling prophecies, damnit!.

I have noticed that too, now that you mention it.
But, when a ten year old gets one of those pats on the head it is good. It is boring for the older ones, though. But, my aforementioned one was exciting as I opened it in the early part of the day and it gave me much to anticipate.

OK, I'm confused about where my fabu Chinese bar is. It just might be this one. I would have to have someone drive by. Anyone in the area? It was on the North West side of some intersection, which this is not. Damn, that bar was cool.

We had fortune cookies with custom fortunes at our wedding.
There are so many good chinese restaurants here in SF. They claim to be authentic (they probably are, there's such a huge Chinese population here), but somehow I really miss NYC Chinese food. This thread has me craving cold sesame noodles.....

Last time I went to a chinese restaurant with my family my fortune said "You will inherit a great fortune" I showed it to my parents excitedly, and they told me I better start searching for my birth parents, because they're my only hope for inheriting a fortune.

Aww! I love chinese food & fun fortune cookies.
The BEST chinese EVER is Chin Chin, and I order it in. A whole lot!  The last fortune cookie I cracked open was with my Mom during a scrumdiddlyumtious lunch at P.F. Chang's. We each picked one. My Mom's said "You are very responsible". Mine said, "Be yourself and you will always be in fashion." We were both in awe over how tailored our fortunes were to each other, and how had we picked the opposite, it wouldn't have made sense for either of us. My Mom is confident & responsible, and I'm often....not.  I was DYING to add the words "in bed" but thought I'd give my Mom a break. I always tell her things she wishes I....hadn't.  *Whenever I think of fortune cookies, I ALWAYS think of The Simpsons episode where Homer feels his fortune cookie is telling him to sleep with his sexy co-worker, Mindy. Only because he didn't get a fortune cookie out of the barell that was labeled, "Stick With Your Wife".   |

So, I read the title to this thread and I think of the old Confucious joke, switch out "crackers" for "Fortune Cookie," and get, "Confucious say, 'Man who eat fortune cookie in bed have crumby sleep.' "
But, every third Saturday, or so, we have Chinese food between shows at the theatre. Imagine 15 or 20 actors all being oh-so-clever with the "in bed" gag. Almost makes you want to switch to almond cookies (which I looove) - sheesh. So, here's the one that resides in my wallet: YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN A BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN (in bed.) PEKING NOODLE CO. Toot toot!
