Many moons ago I was having dinner with some friends, including my then-girlfriend. Tha fortune cookies arrived.

I got “You have at your command the wisdom of the Ages.”

Of course my then-girlfriend got “You are cheerful and entertaining.”

Much mock anger ensued. “You get ‘wisdom of the ages’ and I get _cheerful and entertaining_? What the hell?”

My pointing out the “in bed” rule did not help the situation.

Much.

Got this one the other day: “Here we go. ‘Moo Shu Cereal’ for breakfast with duck sauce.”

Yes, that’s what it said, including the “Here we go” part.

In bed.

This one absolutely does not work in the “in bed” game, but I swear I got this from the local Chinese food establishment about a week or so ago:

I think I’d prefer a fortune that didn’t hint at genital mutilation. :eek:
