The funniest fortune cookie you ever got for real

Unread postby Bleep » Thu 27 Apr 2006, 18:44:23

My top two are:

"You have an unusual equipment for success, use it properly"

I think they mean "aptitude"

and

"Butterflies of sudden delight rest up you tonight"

I think they meant "upon"

What are yours?

FUNNY you should ask!

Today, by partner and I accompanied a friend to a "chinese" "restaurant" for the first time in literally years.

I don't open fortune cookie wrappers: I just smash the cookie in my hand, reducing the cookie to crumbs in the bag, then I read the fortune through the plastic.

Today's read:

Last one I got said "you will enjoy a wealthy and secure old age". I was struck by the irony.

To truly appreciate a fortune cookie, you have to append the fortune with either "to bed" or "in bed". Only then does the true meaning become apparent. Read:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ou have an unusual equipment for success, use it properly IN BED


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')utterflies of sudden delight rest up you tonight IN BED


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')F YOUR DESIRES ARE SMALL THEY ARE SURE TO BE GRANTED IN BED


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'y')ou will enjoy a wealthy and secure old age IN BED

Here's the "best" fortune I ever got (at least the strangest):

"There are always other fish in the sea. Not as rich or as pretty, but fish nevertheless."

I gave it to a friend of mine who was eating dinner with me at the Chinese restaurant when I got it. She put it in a little frame and hung it on her wall. Real fortune. True story.
