Trustworthy Desserts
Three amusing fortune cookies I've received lately:
Bonus message: the "Learn Chinese" words on the back included "April" and "Europe." I had hoped to take a vacation during my break next month and Europe was a prime candidate. Sadly, I couldn't find any friends willing to share the journey and I'm, quite frankly, done with traveling alone. The whole trip ends up being overshadowed by my regrets at not having anyone to talk to about the experience.
Oh, and the third word was "fruit."
Your energy returns and you get things done.Sounds less like a fortune and more like a command! I must stress that this one came well before I broke my nose so there's nothing creepy about its pertinence.
Your present question marks are going to succeed.Awkwardly worded, to be sure, but the message is loud and clear. I guess you could call this "reassuring," not because I believe this random piece of paper inserted into a small cookie that I happened to read has any true insight into my life, but because the "question marks" on my mind these days are huge: career, marriage, family, etc.
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.I hope this one is right because lately I feel like I don't have a clue what's going on. It also compliments the previous fortune quite nicely.

Joe: It's high time to consider those words.
Hyde: I've gotten that one too! I know that most cookies are prepared in factories and there's probably only one that serves, say, the East Coast of the US. I wonder how many fortunes there are out there, circulating in perpetuity. 1000? 5000? Much less?

Firstly, It says "choose an identity, and there is an option for "sam (your blogger display name)". I didn't know I had a blog.
Secondly, I think I remember getting a fortune that said somthing unplesant, either along the lines of "your an asshole" or... no, it was "thank your for freeing me from that prison". Those are the fortunes I get.
The first fortune sounds like somthing you would find in an old RPG, you know... Your walking along and then you examine a lake. "do you want to drink the water?" Yes. "your energy returns and you get things done." I don't know if this is a good thing that this was the first thing that popped into my head...
