Strange fortune cookie
We went to a Chinese restaurant and I got the following forune in a cookie:
"You may attend a party where strange customs prevail."
Seems portentious somehow. I wonder if it's about these Chiff gatherings I've been to or hosted.

I usually get ones that say things like "silence is golden" or other parables. They're not even fortunes anymore these days.
But, I kid you not, last time I had chinese, everyone got parables but me...mine said "You will soon come into contact with extraterrestrial life.". Bizarre!

The one that made my jaw drop: "A girlfriend is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle."
I had that one tacked to a cork board for years, but nobody had any idea what it was supposed to mean.

I had one last week (I eat Chinese often; there's a great little family owned hole-in-the-wall within walking distance of my house. If anyone ever comes out this way, you'll have to let me take you there) that said "You are a very lucky person; you keep getting lucky."
No joke whatsoever.

Someone once pointed out to me that almost every fortune makes logical sense and is highly entertaining if you add the phrase "in bed" to the end of the sentence. It's good for a lot of laughs.
Whoops!!!!! Sorry, I guess I should read the whole thread before posting!
