I got a great fortune cookie tonight. However, on the ride home I realized that I left it at the reastraunt?
In order for the fortune to remain do you have to keep the tiny paper? Or is your fortune yours no matter if you keep the tiny paper or not?
I would appreciate any direction and help on this general matter. The fortune is also none of your business. For I beleive that you are not to tell anyone your fortune or it will not remain true.
This is not a joking matter. Please react accordingly. Expert help needed…
So the question is this:
If you open a fortune cookie and read your fortune is that your fortune no matter what? Even if you leave that dang little paper at the reastraunt or not, and even if you tell people what your fortune said?
I beleive you must keep the paper, and not tell anyone what it is for the fortune to remain ture? I could be wrong, so I ask for your direction.
this was no peice of paper my friend, this was the fortune of all fortunes… please lords of the fortune cookies he knows not what he speaks…please ignore his words. :o
The way I figure it, as long as you read it, it’s yours to keep. Even without the paper. Though I beleive it’s all a bunch of crap, personally. But that’s just my opinion, so don’t take that to heart.
BTW, did you add the all important “in bed” to the end of your fortune when you read it? It has to be done. All fortune cookies need to end with “in bed”. It is the fortune cookie law.
I used to work in a Chinese Restrant as a waiter. During this time I kept a cup full of fourtunes that people left on the table.
Why you ask. Because I had a feeling they were a scam. Not because of the fortune, but the lottery numbers on the back. I found that in out order of cookies we had only 12 unique fortunes and lottery numbers. That means we had 200 copies of each Fortune and Lottery number.
This means that if you were to play the lotto numbers on the back, WIN, you would probably win with about 10,000,000 people, Or how ever many had that fortune cookie and plaied the number on the back…
What does this have to do with your post Wu…
Well, Not ONLY the numbers were the same, the fortunes on the back side was the same too. So what ever fortune you got, 10,000,000 other chinese food eating americans got it too.
So sorry to burst your bubble…Unless it said, “You will find a man, and shave his body, then wax him down before he makes man love to you…”
But hey im sure its personal to all the other 10,000,000 people too.
I don’t really give anything to those fortune cookies, seriously, you can write the little fortunes and stick them in cookies anywhere. Who do you think write’s the little fortunes anyway?
somthing eerie about those fortune cookies, they have always been good to me. but tonight i got somthing that i wont forget for a time to come.
Enriq766- i beleive the chineese reastruant you worked at was a “discount” chineese restraunt. therefore your advice is void here. i only eat at the finer chineese reastraunts…
BgDM- thanks man, this is the reply i was looking for. by the way the “in bed” is not allowed to be spoken at my table at the chineese restraunt. i make this very clear to everyone at the table before we get the fortune cookies. i say “no one will say “in bed” while reading their fortune. if you do i will be forced to take you outside in the parking lot and show you what its like! you will not disrespect the fortune cookie in my presents…”
Icoxo- who writes them? i dont know, but mine came in a small cup full of orange sherbert icecream… i dont ask many questions about who writes them, or where they came from. i just read them and keep my freaking mouth shut, and my eyes on my plate…
From Wiki, It kows all… So I am right and there is no such thing as a Finer Chinese resturant. They all serve dog and cats. Ask them to see the kitchen, I bet they wont let you.
Fortune cookie payout
The Powerball drawing of the March 30, 2005 game produced an unprecedented 110 second-place winners, all of whom picked five numbers correctly with no powerball number. The total came out to $19.4 million in unexpected payouts. 89 tickets won $100,000, but 21 additional tickets won $500,000 due to the Power Play multiplier option.
Powerball officials initially suspected fraud, but it turned out that all the winners received their numbers from fortune cookies made by Wonton Food Inc., a fortune cookie factory in Long Island City, Queens, New York. Apparently, number combinations printed on fortunes are reused in thousands of cookies per day. The five winning numbers were 22, 28, 32, 33, and 39. The sixth number in the fortune, 40, did not match the powerball number, 42.
You have to eat the cookie for the fortune to stick and the fortune is only valid if it’s printed in both Chinese and whatever other language. The problem is that Chinese, especially Cantonese, doesn’t translate very well into Germanic languages.
i tell you what, i’m reading a lot of different things. but the constant in all the things i read is “you must eat the entire fortune cookie”. some say you have to eat the cookie first then you can read it. some like flight% say it has to be in both chineese and english.
so i tell you what i’m going to do…i got the cookie, in a little cup of orange sherbert with the cookie pushed in the top. i pulled out the cookie and the icecream came with it, it was frozen on. i proceeded to eat the orange sherbert, while holding the cookie using it as a popcicle stick as i ate the ice cream.
when i was done i ate half the cookie and read my fortune. then ate the other half. so i tell you what i’m going to do. i’m going to put both my hands straight up in the air and call it a feild goal, becuase i ate the dam thing!!
henrymop- thanks man! very uplifting news. you see enriq766 this is how you are supposed to support a good vibe. not with your hard statistics and dirty stories oh how you kept piles of peoples trash.
Alfred Indamine- everyone has jokes, go ahead laugh, laugh. just dont look at me when your bad karma finds its way to you and you flip your truck over…and ruin your best pair of silk panties, yeah i know how you roll dude…
please lords of the fortune cookies he knows not what he speaks…please ignore his words. :o
