Fortune Cookies at my Local Chinese Restraunt

Seriously, this place has great food, but their fortunes are the lamest. A sample from today's lunch:

If you are still hungry, have another fortune cookie.

Some fortune cookies contain no fortune.

Others appreciate your sensitivity.

You are important enough to ask and blessed enough to receive back.

but it's a small price to pay for living a dream.

That last one especially has me scratching my head. It's not cut off, torn, or otherwise damaged, that's just all they came up with on the fortune.

Who else has 'those zany fortunes' to share today?
 
You will kiss the person next to you.

Kept it, and if I see a girl I like I will tell her she dropped her fortune 😉
Silly and corny, but no harm done to make a pretty girl smile.

I couldn't eat that much pork-fried rice if I tried. That was from my group. My boss springs for lunch on Fridays most of the time.

At least that one is a fortune; it predicts the future with a positive spin. These ones seem to be more motivational speeches then fortunes.

I found another one: There is always a way - if you're committed.
 
I got a crap one a while back. It said "Wishing you a good health."
And the "learn chinese" thing on the back appeared to be teaching me how to say different chinese word in chinese.

I've noticed they always have the oddest words to learn in Chinese. The ones today taught Pork, Fruit, Banana, Spring Roll, Friend, and Medical Doctor.

On second thought you may want to make the Medical Doctor your Friend if you eat a Spring Roll with Pork, Banana, and Fruit in it.
 
one time, my mom invited these chinese scientists out to a chinese restaurant when they were here at a meeting with my mom and her collegues. i was like 12 at the time. at the end of the meal, the waitress gave us fortune cookies, and the chinese scientists were so puzzled, they were like, "what are these things"??? they had never seen them before.

I've recieved that too. It's actually pretty common in some fortune cookies

What, you don't add "in bed" to the end of your fortunes? 😀

Others appreciate your sensitivity in bed.

You are important enough to ask and blessed enough to receive back in bed.

Admittedly, it doesn't work with all of those you got, but the above two examples are workable. 😉

no, it was just a story about fortune cookies. they are just stupid things that have no meaning, its not like they are supposed to have a fortune anyway. its not like some long standing strict tradition.

Yeah, the effect isn't as great with these ones. Like the one my boss got (Christ he eats slow):

Pursue your wishes aggresively (in bed).

That's not really anything different from what I do now.

Who cares? They are tasty, and fun. We know they aren't "Chinese food". Most Chinese food served in America isn't really Chinese food, but who cares?
