What is your Favorite Chinese Cookie Fortune?

If your like me then you probably have a fortune or two laying around that you saved because you either thought it was funny or worthwhile, so please share with us... the one currently on my fridgerator says

"Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you."



of course the running joke with us is put the words "in bed" after all the fortunes we get.... makes for a quick laugh

My favorite was "You like Chinese food".

Watch out for emergencies. They are your big chance.

Perfect for ATS.

"never give up, unless defeat arouses the girl in accounting"

I like that one haha

I once got one that said, "very soon and without warning"

Wow - it might as well as said, "in your sleep"...

I got a fortune cookie on my birthday last year (december 28th) and it had nothing in it? Not sure what that's supposed to mean....maybe I won't be around by my next birthday (2012)?

you'll get new clothes

every time I think about it I laugh

talk about writer's block

but still - it is boldly specific :-)

In January, when I was still living in Germany, I had a fortune saying "Your Life will soon dramatically change"
- 1 month later I moved to Florida, and my best friend died of cancer two days ago...
kinda creepy now that I think about it..

My all time favorite however would probably be "You just ate cat meat"

I was about to post a thread myself on these

Yesterday, I was job hunting as I am getting sick of working from home because it's not very social or immediately rewarding.

I went to apply at a certain store and the lady was so ridiculously rude to me I had to just laugh on the way out. I was dressed rather nice, as I am looking to apply and she basically told me she "knew who NEEDED the jobs and you look like you're already well off"

Frustrated, I retreat to my car and I put my head on the steering wheel to just rest. Re-playing this situation again and again in my head, I look up to see a fortune cookie I had last week in the cupholder.

I figure well "F--- it, may aswell open it now"

Upon opening it it read:

"Patience is more rewarding than the sorrow that takes its place"

At that moment, that was just about the exact thing I needed to hear. So I thought "Patience" and continued my job search instead of just getting upset and going home as I'd initially intended.

Sounds silly probably, but yeah

this ones ultra creepy when the waitor is winking at you just after you open it

I was having a bad day myself and went to the fridge and saw my fortune... and smiled... I thought I would see if I was the only one

Sometimes all the conspiracies and topics of doom are really depressing

Thanks for the post so far please flag and lets make people smile

In mother russia fortune cookie opens you

Another that stood out to me:

"A fair face may fade, but a beautiful soul lasts forever"

Sadly, sometimes I believe I need to hear that for being as vain as I am. So I kept that one too. Probably silly of me to believe the fortune cookies I open are meant for me, but then again, what are the chances I get one pertaining to my life in some way everytime.

But then again, maybe they are vague and everyone can relate to them. Either way, I'll keep thinking they are meant for me in my happy dream world.

New fortune


A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

"I peed in your rice"
Lucky numbers: 0

On a side note, anyone else notice they are more statement cookies now-a-days?

You don't know you lost it until you look for it

Almost anything Charlie chan said in his old movies would make a good fortune.
