    "Very soon, and in pleasant company."

    It has it all: it works for everyone, it covers everything, and I won't have to wait too long. Notice it must be positive otherwise "and" would have been "but".

    Now that is one thoughtful Fortune Cookie writer. By the way, has anyone ever considered shucking it all and working for a forune cookie factory in Hong Kong writing fortunes. It is perfect for those Philosophy PhDs out there.

    give it a try.

    I don't know HP. It depends on what happens and with who. "Pleasant company" sounds nice, but if it isn't your wife or significant other, then a ton of moral dilemmas ensue. That fortune does not mean it will be a pleasant event, just that you will enjoy who you experience it with.

    Not trying to rain on your parade though.

    Well...I meant "How could..." to mean "it's impossible to rain on my parade..."

    Just a hunch here, but are you in the company of that "Pleasant company" right now? And if you are, what the hell are you doing on the board?

    I got one that said "The winning numbers are..." and someone had ripped the numbers off. [​IMG]

    necro bump....Just have to say that I've finally found a replacement in my wallet for my OP fortune from 12 years ago. The last one was all torn up and barely readable anymore, anyhow. So it is fortunate I found this new fortune right now.

    This is my new favorite fortune cookie fortune ever.

    if you're dining with friends, let everyone read theirs and add the words, "in bed". it's more fun.

    Thats what I was thinking. If you can add the words " in bed" to your fortune cookie, THEN it would work on all levels!

    I was originally going to just point out who vs. whom, but..

    As for fortune cookies, I used to keep all the fortunes I would get in my wallet. I had one for every occasion it seemed.
