You've just enjoyed a fine night out at a local Chinese restaurant. The kung pao chicken was superb, with just a dash of MSG. Your cookie arrives and lo and behold - "You are woefully lacking in social skills, and your breath is deadly."
It would make a good fortune more valuable if you knew
it was no longer a given.
Penn & Teller's How to Play With Your Food

The now out-of-print book came with a sheet of fortune cookie strips that you can substitute for your friend's if you're devious enough. Some concern card tricks, others run along the lines of "That lump is cancer". [jutta, Apr 05 2001]

An old friend of mine said that he went to a Chinese restaurant on the day his girlfriend broke up with him. He discovered flies in his rice, and then the fortune in his cookie read, "Just give up." |
|
| |
Now that's a misfortune cookie. |
|
| |
my favourite: 'you like chinese food'. |
|
| |
This message has a protective coating.(I got this one years ago, laughed myself sick) |
|
| |
All your base are belong to us. (Waiting to get this one) |
|
| |
I stick with the following game to make the messages more interesting: |
|
| |
Just add "in bed" to whatever phrase you receive -- a sure fire way to spice up your message. |
|
| |
The midwest version of that is to add "between the sheets" to all the fortunes.... |
|
| |
All your base are belong to us between the sheets? |
|
| |
You have no chance to survive make your time in bed. |
|
| |
second favourite: 'that wasn't chicken'. |
|
| |
beautiful typo from actual cookie:
Money is the root of all elvis |
|
| |
some lovely ones friends have recieved (add "in bed" of course!)... "everyone agrees you are the best," "try a creative approach to problem-solving," and, of course, "enjoy more time with your family." |
|
| |
gotta love it. if i wanted weird ones i think i'd just make my own though... |
|
| |
The first time that I went to a chineese restaraunt with my wife (who was my girlfriend at the time) I got a fortune that said, "He loves you as much as he can, but unfortunately that is not very much". Good thing that I got it instead of her! |
|
| |
another possibility: "you will witness a strange ceremony" ... |
|
| |
I recall an actual news story from a few years back wherein novelty ("sexy") fortunes were inadvertently placed in regular cookies due to some mistake at the factory or something. Needless to say, hilarity and embarrassment ensued. I'll never find a link. It's not really worth looking for, I guess; you get the idea. |

Beware the Ides of March... |

| |
Meet me under the bridge in St. Louis... |
|
| |
what about these? they're bound to make people freak out once in a while..."DUCK!" or "I know where you sleep" or "Don't turn around..." or even "i'm going to kill you!" |
|
| |
My two favorite cookie fortunes I have received: |
|
| |
1. "The Galactic Space Wizard will take you on a tour of the universe." (I'm still waiting)
2. "To eat is sex." |
|
| |
I got one that said "Buy the red car" a couple years ago. But I already had one. |
