Wow, see how fortunate I am!
When ever I get a fortune cookie I tend to save the fortune.
Most of them eventually disappear, but I do make an effort to
hang on to those that are interesting (or very flattering).
Here follows a bunch of sayings from Chinese fortune cookies I have gotten:
(OK, so they're probably really printed and cooked here in
America, but you know what I mean...)

How many different fortune cookie companies are there? For a
long time all the restaurants around here seem to get them from
the same place, what I used to call "The red smiley face
company" (they seem to use black now). They had very bland and
boring fortunes, and seemingly a very small catalog, because
you kept seeing the same ones over and over again. Although
I'm pretty sure they were the company that did have the most
Zen fortune I've ever seen

This is actually another job on my list of "Jobs I'd like to do
after I become so rich I don't really have to work": writer of
fortunes for cookies. If you've gotten email from me you've
probably seen a sample of my work, as my random .sig generator
pulls from a list of those I've written/compiled myself. If you
own a fortune cookie company and need to hire writers, please
contact me for a sample of my work. If you are willing to pay
low six figures annual, you don't have to wait for me to win the
lottery to start work.
