Oh my god! I had the same fortune cookie once when I was having dinner with a friend of mine. And to make it even more funny is the topic of conversation at the time I opened the fortune cookie was how long its been since I had a date!
My crazy Greek neighbors- Big Betty, who’s about 4’8, 84, and her son, George- only go out for Chinese. Until Betty got a fortune that said, written in ink on the back, “Fuck you Yankee dog.” She just about had a heart attack.
I’ve gotten empty cookies a few times. Once I got a blank one. Well, not totally blank, it did have a little smear of ink along one edge. It either means I have no future, or the printer is out of ink.
In Australia, we have the ‘Kung Foo Sing’ brand fortune cookies. Every single fortune contains a warning on the back, something like “This fortune has been coated in plastic; do not consume”.
So one has a 50% chance of a mildly disturbing fortune when you first pull the bit of paper out of the cookie.
