Fortune cookies! Post your favorite fortune / story

"May you live in interesting times"

I got that one way back when the fortune cookies 1st came out. There was a large Chinese pagoda style lantern & I was about 10 (I'm 60 now). I thought the fortune was good & read it out loud.

The waiter smiled-leaned in and said-it is actually a curse!

I know what he means now......We are in very "interesting" times I would dare say.

1. I think we must have all gotten that one...

I'd prefer a little boredom right now.

2. "You've Had Your Cookie. Now Pay and Get Out, Gweilo."

Just kidding.

I remember one time in high school out with friends at a Chinese buffet. One of us got a blank slip of paper so being giggly teens had fun telling him he was doomed once he left the restaurant.

3. OMG the timing! I just got this one!

"You can't possibly live long enough to make all of them yourself"

WTF does that even mean?

6. Probably a bad "litteral" interpetation.

Of a old saying like don't carry the weight of the world-or it takes a village.

You see this every so often especially in instruction manuals. Just a guess.

9. That's the second line of an old proverb...

You should learn from other people's mistakes, you don't have time to make them all yourself.

4. When I was 10 I got

"You will be successful and you will have 18 children."

5. "Your life will be graced by the presence of stardom."

Just a few days later a friend and I stopped for gas during an out of town trip and we had an Elvis sighting!!! This guy was wearing a jumpsuit unbuttoned halfway to his navel, the black pompadour haircut and the gold framed sunglasses. 😄😄😄

7. My husband got this one once

"The one you love, loves you."

Pretty nice!

8. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

I thought that was quite a profound saying when I was a teenager. Still do, actually.
