Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?

I collect fortunes, and get lots of generic ones. The best fortune I've gotten reads, "Very soon, and in pleasant company." I think that covers all bases!

Wow. I can pick only one? Roasted asparagus, with olive oil and garlic, maybe a bit of balsamic vinegar. YUM!

Love it! Very kinky for being totally non-animal based. I love the end with putting the wrapper back on...awesome!

My mom got a fortune that read, "Promote literacy, eat more fortune cookies." And the sad thing is that she is an English teacher.

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:

Avoid the opposite sex today.
Yeah, right!

And then just for emphasis, the 'Learn Chinese' word on the back:
Still single-mae yao jeh huan

Can't make these up!!

Went to a Chinese restaurant on my 40th birthday, April 1, and my fortune said" A fool at forty is a fool indeed"

Anybody else have funny fortune-cookie traditions? One that's popular where I come from is to read your fortune aloud to the rest of your party and add the words "in bed" to the end of the fortune. Some pretty hysterical results as you go around the table. Especially if it's a large group that's been drinking!

There is a Chinese food restaurant in my town that does not put fortunes in its cookies because it is a Christian business. There's nothing wrong with this, but it's a little sad to open your fortune (non-fortune?) cookie and have nothing inside!
The ones my husband and I got last night happen to be related to our potential work situations in the near future! "Investigate a new opportunity as a potential prospect."

I love many vegetable, but I find roasted potatoes with herbs and olive oil to be a very satisying comfort food.

A veggie tray is my new chocolate. I have absolutely fallen in love with raw veggies. My favorite meal is stir-fry. I also enjoy a big salad with as many veggies as I can find depending on the season. Thanks for the contest. I would enjoy winning the prize, because it would open up a whole new world for me with veggies.
