Last night my wife Cat and I went out to a Chinese restaurant. So guess what my fortune cookie said?
“You will experience small success, especially in romance.”
Which leaves me with two questions: 1. Does anyone out there know if “small” is Chinese for “great”? And 2: Am I the only person in the world who’s ever gotten a negative fortune cookie fortune? I’ve gotten a really weird fortune cookie fortune before (which you can read about here), but I’ve never gotten one like this, where it’s basically telling me that I’m a loser — especially in romance. Has anyone else ever gotten, like, a Fortune Cookie of Doom?

This is SUCH a funny/amazing story that NW has linked to. It's just … oh … what's the word … Oh, that's right. There isn't one.

It’s so easy to infiltrate. I guess that’s why it’s so important to know the truth and exercise your God given authority to cast down every lie.
You might find the following article interesting. I did. It’s titled: “For the makers of unlucky fortune-cookie messages, a diner revolt”
Grace: GOOGLE said that? Gosh, that’s … well, wrong. I mean, it may be some kind of definition of the word, but the primary definition of “harp” (beyond the instrument) is to bitch, to complain about something to the point of being a major pain. Think of the Greek HARPY.
Hey, Elizabeth! (Oh–I was KIDDING about the fortune cookie being a problem! I see SOMEONE didn’t read comment #20). AMAZING news about your husband!! Fantastic. Wonderful. Congratulations to you both. What a wonderful Christmas gift.
