[For three weeks, Josh & Katy blogsit]Actually fortune cookies rarely hold fortunes anymore … unfortunately. When we broke open our cookies after a meal at Burrito Art (more “art” than “burrito” but quite tasty despite that) we found the following non-fortune fortunes:Katy: “Be charitable, it will be appreciated.”Josh: “Prosperity is our God given right.”A better pairing I challenge you to find.–josh

Hey, don’t forget to add ‘, in bed.’ at the end of your fortunes…Or is that too juvenile? 🙂
In a fit of MSG overdose, my sister and I actually wrote a letter to a local chinese restaurant which we frequented well frequently complaining about the fortunes. I remember one line was, “My last fortune said I was a kind and generous person. That not only isn’t a fortune – it isn’t even true!”Naturally, we didn’t sign our real names to it. However, we were still embarassed to see it posted by the cash register the next time we went in.
Tim-Yes. And it’s unhygenic. “You will be visited by ants … in bed.”josh
JoshWhy do you have to bring up such unpleasant memories of my aunt?

My personal favorite was:”You like Chinese food.”
