I used to get some crazy ones, and from all over, it was a trend for a while.
My favorite was, and this was all, with no lotto numbers on it.
"The end is near".

They should enforce a spellcheck program too - mobili-s-ation and civili-s-ation. That or get a keyboard with a "z" key that works.

British English has those spellings. Both are acceptable here, but the 's' spelling is started to be replaced by the 'z' spelling. To me, 'civilisation' looks more correct that 'civilization'. Though I sometimes use the 'z' spelling.

Can't believe we're this far into the thread for the first mention of my favorite aspect of fortune cookie fortunes (I thought it was compulsory...): to read the fortune out loud, then add the words "in bed" at the end.

Of course, it could be just me...

That is always the way I have read them. Most of our friends now had never heard of it read that way. I told them it was there; just in white ink.
