Fortune Cookie Follies

As if fortune cookies weren't ridiculous enough, I have managed to get some that just make you go "HUH?"

I have had friends tell me about getting blank fortunes and I think we all have gotten the vague and ambiguous fortunes but some are just not right. I had thought about posting this yesterday but couldn't remember the particular "fortune" word-for-word, so I waited. I waited because, even though they are... well, stupid... I collect them, so I knew I had the one I wanted to quote at home.

I searched through the stack at home and stuffed the little paper maxim in my wallet to write about today. I got to work and promptly forgot about the post. That is until lunch when my fortune cookie produced the same fortune I had searched for and stored in my wallet. So now I have it in stereo. So without further ado, here is my first installment of FORTUNE COOKIE FOLLIES:

Behind an able man, there are always.


That has been my fortune at least three times now.

  6. Oh, well, I know I am going against the weight of public opinion but I like the idea of a crack pot fortune cookie...sorta open-ended, alowing for a multitude of ways to complete the thought.
