Weirdest one: "You will get new clothes."
Best one, that I have hanging on my board at work: "Keep your plans secret for now."

There is nothing like a FLAT sesame bagel with whitefish salad, sliced tomato and pepper from Tal Bagels on 86th Street. So good!
Eating in Vegas
Hugo's Cellar in the basement of the Four Queens hotel is always a must stop for me in Vegas. If you haven't seen the "old" Vegas on Fremont street, it's definately worth a trip. Plus, some of the casinos on Fremont street have deep fried oreos and deep fried twinkies! I can feel my arteries clogging just thinking about them...

Morimoto's Cookbook Can Be Yours This Weekend
Morimoto without question. His dishes are always innovative, delicious, and beautiful. Stained glass sushi? Spectacular. Plus, his restaurant is amazing, and he was nice enough to take a picture with me when I was there :)

maered: IMHO, you are the winner! Nobody would dare say it, but what perfect advice for any new bride.
LoCo: We do something similar - our phrase is, "That's what the girl said to the sailor." Can get darn funny with a group, especially with a little alcohol thrown in. In any casual situation. Yours definitely works best with fortunes, though. I'm laughing.

We had our wedding dinner at a Chinese restaurant (we were broke) and my fortune cookie read: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
17 years later ... I still have the husband and the fortune too.

I got one that said: "The number three."
I keep every one of my fortune cookie slips. The early ones were in this tiny 1 inch diameter decorative clay pot. When that got full, I started putting them in the large pink plastic see-through piggy bank that I got as a holiday party gift. That hasn't gotten full yet.

When I was in high school, a friend of mine was deployed during Desert Storm. I made him homemade fortune cookies and put fortunes like "Don't look a gift camel in the mouth," and "If you lay down with camels, you'll get up with sand fleas." They were great comic relief and I had a blast making them.

A recent one that's still sitting on my desk:

And then just for emphasis, the 'Learn Chinese' word on the back:
