On New Year's Eve I got Chinese food with my bf, and this was the fortune I got. I started cracking up...let's just say this fortune is interpreted very differently when you're gay I can add this to the list of funny fortunes I've gotten. I got one that said "Work on improving your exercise routine" aka I got called fat by a piece of food. And my bf once got one that says "You enjoy sports, horses, and gambling, but not to excess." Still waiting for the one that says "Help! I'm trapped in a fortune cookie factory!" Has anyone gotten any memorable fortunes in their fortune cookie, either inspiring or ridiculous?
As I understand it, once upon a time there was a lottery drawing that had an unusually high number of big winners to share the pot. Later, when many of them were asked how they came up with those numbers to select, they reported that they had played numbers from a fortune cookie!
I don't like the ones that are just philosophical sayings - they always disappoint me. I want my fortune, silly cookies!
That moment when you go to a Chinese buffet, get a fortune cookie with a HANDWRITTEN fortune reading "Help I'm an American behind held against my will," bring it up to management, and your table of five all get their meals comp'd.
