Perspicuously, the missives abstrused within "fortune cookies" are unalloyed inanity, and are as commodius as a tea ewer of the chocolate rubric.
Voluminously more edifying would be the implantation of a tiding embodying a word, coincident upshot and examples of deployment.

And just why would you call me a "fellow," chap? |

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away

Mine for evermore
