Lame ass fortune cookie phrases really tick me off… For once I’d like to be able to write my own, or even the one inside someone elses cookie

I think the Simpsons had the best fortune cookie joke of all time:
Marge: We really shouldn’t have gotten those North Korean fortune cookies you know: “You are a coward!” “Have shame!”, I mean, no one wants to hear that after a nice meal…
Hey, they’re my neighbours, I can make fun of 'em
