I've been trying to think up funn fortune cookie fortunes

Avoid 30th Street between 3:00 and 3:15 today.

This fortune is ISO-9000 compliant.

Keep an eye on Table 7.

We are out to get you.

Laugh much and eat this fortune. Refuse to say why.

If you see “+” then she is pregnant: +

Didn’t they make a movie about that? George Burns, I think?

Even paranoiacs have enemies.

This fortune cookie always lies. That was a lie.

Could God make a fortune cookie so strong that He couldn’t break it open?

Next time, try to the Moo Goo Gai Pan.

The chef hasn’t wash his hands in weeks.

My brother just got a cookie with no fortune inside it.

I find that to be rather ominous.

It’s only ominous when everyone near you is getting that fortune. And no-one not near you.

Soon, you will probably suffer. But probably not for long.

There’s always a chance you’ll miss the next big natural disaster.

Probably very few bullets have your name on it.

When you find a lump under the skin, don’t forget that it might be cancer.

Traffic accidents are number one for accidental deaths in America. You might survive the drive home, though.

I once got one in a weird font, different from all my friends’ cookies, that said “Great fortune awaits you at Western Dakota Tech!”

I kept it in my wallet as proof until it dissolved.

They sell those specialty message cookies in the same advertising gimmick catalogs that have company logo pens and keychains. Your cookie probably was picked up at a job fair.

Heh :slight_smile: I wrote the fact that you can have custom-made fortune cookies into a story.

Why, when I opened this thread, did my browser open a tab for “Numerology Readings that will stun you with their honesty”?

Today’s comic strip contribution

Absolutely. This book, http://www.amazon.com/reader/0446698970?encoding=UTF88&ref=sib%5Fdp%5Fpt#noop, called The Fortune Cooke Chronicles, pretty much starts with an anecdote about an incident when an inordinate numbers of winners hit Powerball at once, and it was tracked to a fortune cookie “lucky number.” It isn’t the greatest book ever (think “library,” not “bookstore”), but it does answer your question, and also covers the origins of “Chinese” fortune cookes and “General Tso’s Chicken.”

Good lord, the latter is easy. Some annoyed cook thought, “I bet if I put these killer red peppers in whole, that moron will eat one.”
