Best fortune cookie you could get?

I got one that said "Get another fortune."
I gave it to my waitress and she gave me another one. 🙂
 
i received one that read:
"you will do better in real estate than in stocks"

Which obviously, real estate is usually a better investment than stocks, but I still held on to that one (given my track record, that's an awfully low bar).
 
That&


im surprised this hasnt shown yet
 
Gotta love Yao:

"Our honeymoon was in Europe. One stop was Venice. Cost fifty dollars for a ride in the gondola. There was also the romantic package. Three hundred dollars. That gets a bottle of red wine and a man playing music. But I don't really drink red wine. And you can hear the music coming from the other boats. So the fifty-dollar package seemed like the way to go."


Kind of different from all of the other NBA'ers with entourages and their "bling".
 
Add the words "in bed" after every fortune you get and read it aloud. Great ice-breaker for a business dinner at a chinese place.
 
The other night I went to the local Chinese place to pick up a combo for myself. Chicken soo guy, with chicken chop suey, chicken fried rice and an eggroll.

It was the first time I'd ever been there without picking up two combos... my ex and I used to eat there once every couple of weeks - we were regulars. So it was kind of a lonely occasion... but I shrugged it off and tried to concentrate on the greasy goodness.

Anyhoo, my fotune cookie had TWO fortunes in it 🙂

- "You will soon receive help from an unexpected source."
- "You will soon receive pleasant news of a personal nature."

heh, there was in interesting article in the New Yorker a few years back profiling the fortune-cookie writer. He worked for Nabisco when they started creating the whole fortune cookie thing. He was some lab guy or accountant or something, and they approached him and asked if he wanted to write these fortunes.

Eventually, he was responsible for some 90% of the fortunes in all of the fortune cookies, as they were the largest distributor for many years. A lot of his fortunes came from phrases he noticed in advertising while taking the train to work, things he'd pick up on TV, or reading, whatever.
