Strange fortune cookie

I had a fortune cookie once. Can't remember what it said but I remember I didn't like the taste. I even had to ask if you were really supposed to eat them. Since then I have remained steadfastly unfortunate.

I watched a stand-up routine once where the guy was going on about the minds who creat fortune cookie slips.

He mused:

"What if they got bored? You might find something like.

'Confucious say
You are about to embark on a solo journey to the moon and stay there for an extended period of time!'

haha he won't know whether to sh*t or eat apple!"

It was funnier live.

We were discussing writing fortunes at a Chinese restaurant one evening. Creepy ones like: "The person across the table intends to kill you" and "Your food is poisoned." "You will not live to see the sun rise." "You will choke to death on a fortune cookie." Things like that. It got pretty twisted.

My favorite was "In the future, you will become hungry. Better order take-out today."

We have one on our refrigerator that says:

“Life is not a struggle, it is a wiggle.”

And for fun weird fortune cookies

Had the same experience. The reason I can't remember what it
said and didn't like the taste is that, in my ignorance,
I ate my fortune.

Screwed.

Weird, that site that ID10T posted has that same fortune.

I wonder what the rate of fortune repetition is...

It also has Anglorfin's "new clothes" fortune:

My mother got one that read "A great cake awaits you." I don't think we ever found the cake.

And I don't know if any of you have played the game "Taipei" on Windows '95/'98, but it gave me this fortune several times: "Bouncy ball is the source of all goodness and light." If anyone can decipher that one, I'm all ears! Methinks the programmers got bored...

My favorite fortune cookie I ever got was "The work will show you how to do it."
