Fortune Cookies

What's the point? Yes they are positive, upbeat messages to motivate you to strive to get more in life (most likely used with the pharmaceutically tested Placebo Effect process.) But honestly- What's the big deal? Have you yet to have a fortune actually come true? That's what I thought! It's extremely rare! *if you have had a fortune come true, leave me the story *with details* in the comments* I have a few funny stories of my own in fact(:

So once at my old church (before I moved,) my preacher was out sick and we hadn't scheduled anybody to fill in. So of course, we did improv stand up comedy at our traditional Episcopal Church! One person told a story about their son who had gotten a fortune cookie that said, "You have completed your goal in life. Complete it on another planet. The aliens will come to abduct you at precisely 12 tomorrow. Be prepared!" It was crazy! He had the fortune as proof! And it scared his poor son half to death! And just for your reassurance, I will add, he did NOT get abducted. Oh shocker! It didn't come true! So my point is made!

And just for the record, I'm gonna point out I am not 'dissing' on fortune cookies, or the cultural tradition behind them. I am simply putting my opinion onto the world wide web. And just because I love my viewers SO much- I am going to post an amusing picture, just for YOU!

  1. Yeah, I definitely agree with you. And once, my friend got one that said, "Today is a sunny day." And needless to say, it was raining outside.
