Make Your Own Fortune Cookies

fortune_cookie.jpg
Above: Best fortune I ever got in a cookie. Thought it was just a printer error...until I discovered the family living in the other side of my house!

Fortune cookies: the consensus around these parts seems to be that most of 'em should be cast into the pit of Hades, or have the words "in bed" tacked onto the end to make their annoyingly vague platitudes bearable.

But what if you could make your own? What would they say? Leave your timeless wisdom in the comments below!

Here you go: Your friends fortune cookie has better wisdom than yours.

said Bigus Dickus on July 10, 2008 2:43 PM.

Wait, wait! Another nugget of wisdom! Ahem.....: Ever wonder why there are no Asian vets?

said Bigus Dickus on July 10, 2008 2:44 PM.

How about:

"What do you want from me? I'm a fucking cookie!"

"He who seeks fortune in cookie is silently encouraged by his peers to play in traffic."

"You will find true love on Flag Day"

said roger on July 10, 2008 3:14 PM.

Ha, love 'em! Except your 2nd one could be construed as a bit racist, Bigus -- I know for a fact that many Asians have fought bravely in various wars throughout our history.

Just thought of a couple:

"Confucius say, you're a dick."
"It is said human flesh tastes like pork. So, does it?"
"Laugh it up. The waiters are back there doing impressions of you, too, asshole."

"I can't believe your girlfriend bought that line last night! Yeah I've been tested....geesh she's a moron"

said Bigus Dickus on July 10, 2008 3:33 PM.

"You are NOT the father!!"

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 10, 2008 3:34 PM.

Ooh, nice, Conserva! That would make for a great cooking segment on the Montel Williams show.

said Jeem on July 10, 2008 3:38 PM.

My fault but I see where you are coming from Jeem. When I said vets, I meant veterinarians. So let me clarify (and help people get the joke), my 2nd post: Ever wonder why there are no Asian veterinarians?

said Bigus Dickus on July 10, 2008 3:52 PM.

This fortune not intended for you. How unfortunate.

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 10, 2008 4:01 PM.

This cookie is a choking hazard. You will live if you don't eat it.

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 10, 2008 4:03 PM.

Uh, hi. Uhm. Good luck. And stuff.

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 10, 2008 4:03 PM.

You will be approached by an attractive person of the opposite sex. Then they will realize they mistook you for their accountant.

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 10, 2008 4:06 PM.

That one thing you did that you think no one knows about? You may want to Google yourself.

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 10, 2008 4:08 PM.

"you will be hungry again in one hour"

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 10, 2008 4:12 PM.

"Jane, you ignorant slut..."

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 10, 2008 4:17 PM.

"Your cat is now missing"

said Bigus Dickus on July 10, 2008 4:20 PM.

"Death is in your future"

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 10, 2008 4:25 PM.

"Thanks for your interest in your fortune but unfortunately all of our operators are busy at the moment helping others. Please wait and someone will be with you shortly....."

said Bigus Dickus on July 10, 2008 4:54 PM.

You will have good luck with strangers - in bed.
Lucky numbers 19, 75, 20, 11, 100.

said E on July 10, 2008 5:37 PM.

For you, the Won Ton soup was 'very special'.

said E on July 10, 2008 5:38 PM.

If this restaraunt was Tila Tequila's ass, would you still order the poo-poo platter?

said E on July 10, 2008 5:39 PM.

Please watch Won Ton Ton, the Dog that saved New York, and tell me how it is.

said E on July 10, 2008 5:50 PM.

What if this is as good as it gets?

said Johnny Wright on July 10, 2008 6:00 PM.

Those idiots at Sony Records won't allow YouTube to...

[This one only works if your friends are playing the stupid "in Bed" fortune cookie game. Even then, it doesn't work too well.]

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 10, 2008 6:15 PM.

Big Jim's Bail Bonds - Call 555-1212. We'll get you out!

said E on July 10, 2008 6:27 PM.

This fortune was made with recycled toilet paper.
Just in case you were wondering why the cookie tastes like ass.

said Dave on July 10, 2008 7:02 PM.

Why are all the fortunes printed on WHITE paper?

Jesse Jackson

said Dave on July 10, 2008 7:15 PM.

Jeem-We have all watched the Karate Kid and are all well aware that Mr. Miagee won the Metal of Honor. We are also aware that he is not the only Asian war hero. Furthermore we are also aware that in many Asian Cultures it is acceptable to eat cat and dog. Even Furthermore we are all aware that not all Asians eat Cat and Dog. So here is your fortune.

Confucious says: Don't be so quick to jump to racist conclusions it only keeps people like Jesse Jackson in a Job.

said Dave on July 10, 2008 7:25 PM.

Awesome.

I'm approaching Johnny Wright-level comment numbers here, AND laughing my ass off at the same time. Thanks for giving me such a swell day, gang.

Hey, wasn't there an old saying about somebody making pee-pee in your Coke? That might make a good one, too. (But you would have to serve Coke with dinner, or you wouldn't really get the full effect.)

said Jeem on July 10, 2008 7:51 PM.

Let's not get crazy my friend.

It was a great idea, matey.

JW

said Johnny Wright on July 10, 2008 8:04 PM.

Kobe, How's my Szechuan Chicken taste?

said E on July 10, 2008 8:31 PM.

Walk off home run for E.

See ya! That ball will fly-away!

said Johnny Wright on July 10, 2008 8:37 PM.

Me Chinese, Me play Joke
Me go Pee Pee in your Coke.

said Dave on July 11, 2008 8:55 AM.

"[YOUR AD HERE! (800)555-1212]"

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 11, 2008 8:59 AM.

He who looks for guidance from baked good may find himself in a pickle.

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 11, 2008 10:14 AM.

Dude? Where's my car?

said Bigus Dickus on July 11, 2008 10:24 AM.

E, that Kobe one was indeed a home run, man. (Or 3-point basket, maybe? I don't know, I'm bad at sports metaphors.)

The pickle one is great, too. I could actually see that one being printed in a real fortune cookie.

And Conserva, you may be on to something there, since advertisers probably thought they'd covered every possible surface with an ad already.

"This coupon good for $1 off any sized bottle of Pepto Bismol. Which you will need in about 10 minutes."

said Jeem on July 11, 2008 10:30 AM.

"SF ISO SM age/race unimportant. Must love cats."

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 11, 2008 10:47 AM.

"You just ate the nuts of Barack Obama. Thanks Jesse!"

said Bigus Dickus on July 11, 2008 10:50 AM.

"Hello friend. I am trapped in Nigeria and will need your bank account information to escape..."

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 11, 2008 10:56 AM.

"My child is an honor roll student at Luzer Elementary!"

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on July 11, 2008 1:03 PM.

For a good time call 867-5309.
