It hasn’t escaped your notice, MarMil, that a slip of paper is claiming to have the gift of eyesight? I hope you kept that thing, it would seem that it should be examined more closely.
Hmmmmm, I think that you are going to have a very notorious and public affair that will make the papers in the UK scream with delight and wild headlines, can I be your agent?
Quite. I was under the impression the fortune was predicting the accession of Prince Charles to the throne, after checking that the majority of the UK population weren’t averse to the idea. I was thinking foresight, not eyesight.
Yes, I still have it, it’s my souvenir of a fun evening spent on Long Island playing miniature golf & go-karting.
I got one that said something to the effect of, “A person who sees you looks for the beauties to be found elsewhere.” Interesting . I put it up by my lab bench at work.
So this isn’t some silly thing my hubby made up… other people across the country do this fortune cookie rewrite to! It does make for some… interesting fortunes, just make sure that your mouth is free of food and drink before reading. snort, choke
This doesn’t seem to help Martin’s bizzare fortune much though.
The only worthwhile fortune cookie thingum I ever got read, “Look ahead and see the end from the beginning.” Good advice.
The two best I ever got: one said, “You would make a good lawyer.” I went to the proprietress and as a joke told her I didn’t like the “fortune”, and the poor thing thought I was serious and offered me a new cookie. I kept trying to reassure her that it was all a joke; you know, the eternal bash-the-lawyer thing, but she didn’t seem to get it somehow. I’ll never pull that stunt again.
In my neighborhood the children know me as the “fortune cookie man”. I have a habit of walking around a church parking lot that is near my home. A young boy asked my why I was always walking around the parking lot. I’m sure he thought, “Don’t you have anything better to do?” I replied that the fortune cookie that I got at the Chinese buffet (aren’t they great?) advised me to walk in circles behind a church. He believed me, so now I am the fortune cookie man. The children giggle and point their fingers at me. I smile.
