Got a good fortune out of a fortune cookie lately? Of course, they’re always better when you add “in bed” at the end. Here’s the one I got today: “You are vigorous in words and action.” In bed! ---

We love this one! The best we’ve ever seen? > [@](#): > > New business opportunities await you. Our response was: "Grandma!!! We didn’t know you were in _that_ line of work!!! :eek: " Yes, this was, indeed, Typo’s 80-something grandmother who got that fortune. We had all just been discussing this game, then the fortune cookies arrived. Grandma, fortunately, had a wild sense of humor and howled right along with us. ---

I have one that says, " Look up an old friend if you’re feeling down." And another that says, “You are always thoughtful of the other fellow.” Not so happy about that one. ---

Treasure your good memories and you need not worry about ending a banquet…in bed. Cooperation will work better…in bed. It’s kind of fun to do the impossible…in bed. Never forget that a half truth is a whole lie…in bed. Beware the fury of a patient man…in bed. Burnt bridges are hard to cross…in bed. Don’t behave with cold manners…in bed. Never measure the height of a mountain until you’ve reached the top…in bed. Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiam…in bed. The current year will bring you much happiness…in bed. Just because you put tap shoes on an elephant does not mean it can dance…in bed. You get the feeling that I might be overdoing it on the take outs? ---

My three favorite fortune cookies. (The twist only works on one of them.) “You will achieve success with everything you put your hands to.” in bed. “More pineapple, please.” “Only listen to the fortune cookie; disregard all other fortune telling units.” (I have that last one pinned to the wall of my cubicle. ---
