Three times in a row mine said: Learn Chinese. Must be a sign I thought. So I got the Fluenz program and did the first two levels. Now able to speak a little Chinese I go back to the restaurant and find out from Maggie that all the cookies say that on one side, the fortune is on the other. Xiexie ni, zaijian.

When I retired, my coworkers gave me a party! It was in a Chinese restaurant.

My fortune cookie read: You have clearly enjoyed every moment of your work!

my parents took my husband, his parents and me out to a very nice Chinese restaurant. My fortune cookie said "The only one interested in your love life is you". For years I had it on display right next to the sake cup from that same night.

"Pain and misery will haunt your miserable soul for all eternity."

I want to see ones that say things like, "Don't duck that telephone call from the IRS." or "You will be overwhelmed by the simple eloquence of a LeRoy Neimann painting, proving you have shitty taste."

...three times in about a month there was NO fortune in my freakin' cookie. Freaked me out. It was like when I was younger and used to read cards or have my cards read. I'd always get the damned tower. At some point, even the least of believers gotta say, "wtf...".
