if your job was to write new fortune cookies for a fortune cookie company, what would you come up with?

But real ones are stranger.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give your wait-person a generous tip!

Fate is the last excuse of the apathetic. Write your own destiny.

Mrs. Dallas once got one that said "Trust him, but keep your eye on him."

Several months later she got another that said "Trust him, but still keep your eye on him."

She kept both of them, and carries them in her purse for deployment at strategic moments.

my mom had a depressed friend that she took out to a chinese restaurant for dinner to cheer up.

her fortune was blank.

This Is Only A Test.

I've actually made my own fortune cookies before, though it's been years, and thinking up the fortunes was the funnest part. I can only remember a few:

"Inspected by #114"
"Duck!"
"Order more fortunes today"

...I'll have to see if I still have the list I made, some were pretty funny. I made the fortune cookies large novelty size, about the size of a softball, so I had the option for some lengthy fortunes.

A close corollary to that which I pulled on some friends one New Year's Eve in a Chinese restaurant..

"Your house is on fire and your dog is dead."
