Cursed Fortune Cookies

[MorganGrayson]

Wow. That would totally freak me. I've never gotten a fortune cookie that didn't assure me all would be right with my little world.

There's an "all you can eat" Chinese buffet in our little town and we loved to take the kids there while they were growing up. (We were blessed with kids who could hold up their end of a conversation, so they were fun to take places.) Occasionally, Mom and Dad would get impossibly romantic fortune cookies that would allow the kids to make that "ewwww!!!" noise they do so love to make...but "pick another fortune cookie"???? Yikes.

I didn't think the fortune cookie people did things like that.

Makes sense to me - if you include 10 of those messages for every 100 fortune cookies made, you could have between 1 - 10 people asking for another fortune cookie.

Voila, 1%-10% increase in sales

I think I only ever had a REALLY good one once! I still carry it in my wallet...Don't pay too much attention to it, or use the excuse to stay in bed all day tomorrow and "vedge"

Mr. Benn, you got 5 points for being able to keep your eye on the business ball, so-to-speak.

I'm sending myself to the corner for not thinking of that....

Pick another fortune cookie?

That is really strange. I have eaten in hundreds of chinese restaurants in 10 states for more years than I care to admit and I have never seen that in a cookie.
