I’m sure that every day, someone, somewhere on this board enjoys a delicious Chinese food meal followed by that after dinner delicacy - the fortune cookie.
I resolve (for as long as this thread survives) to post my fortune (grammatical and spelling errors included). Anyone care to join me?

I have pretty strange fortune cookie story. Several years ago, shortly after ending a long term relationship, I was dating a woman who I really wasn’t very serious about. Actually we both were “on the rebound” so to speak, and weren’t really expecting one another to be much more than “transitional”, but we still enjoyed eachother’s company. Anyway, I remember going to a Chinese resturaunt with her one evening and of course at the end of the meal came the obligatory fortune cookies. She cracked open her cookie, read the fortune and just started laughing. I asked her what was so funny and she handed me the fortune. It read:
“He loves you as much as he can, but he can’t love you very much”.
Shortly thereafter we broke up. I still think of that as the fortune cookie that ended our relationship.
You have a potential urge and the ability for accomplishment. (Urge for what I wonder!)
Life’s reward will be yours. (I’m still waiting…)
You are talented in many ways. (hmmmmmm, true, but how did he know that)
Several of you seem to have sex on the brain today. Hmmmmm. Wonder what that could mean???
Who? Me? No comment.
You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.
