what is UP with fortune cookies?

maybe it’s just me, but i could care less about the actual cookie. cookie shmookie (and that says a lot, considering how much i really heart cookies).

it’s all about the FORTUNE.

except nowadays, you don’t see a fortune on that little crisp slip of white paper. no, no, no. you read some lame-o generic chinese proverb about inner peace or your neighbor’s garden or the long and winding road to heaven or something.

if i wanted to read crap like that, i’d buy one of those inspirational calendars that high school counselors always have on their walls.

I WANT A REAL FORTUNE.

i know, i know, you can always add “in bed” but honestly, people, why settle?!

i want this cookie to TELL ME that i’m about to travel to a distant place or meet a stranger that will forever alter my destiny or pursue an�unwise and dangerous business venture.

is this too much to ask?

is it THAT DIFFICULT for these fortune cookie companies to come up with possible, enigmatic scenarios? i mean, palm readers do it all of the time!

maybe these companies are afraid of liability if things don’t pan out. ok, if that’s the way it has to be, at least dish out some *unusual* advice. i don’t need to hear ANY MORE from confuscious (nor do i need to know how to spell his name).

prime example: i got an *excellent* “advice” cookie a few months back that i still have in my kitchen. it says:

“sell your ideas. they are perfectly acceptable.”

now *that*�is worth eating a crappy cookie for.
