OK, so I meant to post this a few days ago, but completely forgot cuz I was having too much fun with
sweet_kitsune while playing on my copy of Sims 3.
We took a friend of ours out for lunch on Saturday, we ended up going to a Chinese buffet. As the people at the table next to us was leaving we were opening our fortune cookies. The lady leaned over and said "I hope you girls get a better fortune than I did! It said "Love thy neighbor, just don't get caught." Then to prove that this is truly what it said, she tossed the fortune onto our table.
sweet_kitsune kept it cuz we thought it was hilarious that a fortune would say this. Then as we were waiting for
sweet_kitsune to return to the table a few minutes later, our friend and I overheard a lady two tables to our other side read off and comment about the SAME fortune! Best time I've had at that buffet in a while, giggling about how perverse the fortune company is and how ironic it is that two women got the same fortune less than 10 minutes from each other!
I have saved quite a few of these fortunes, not only from my own fortune cookies, but from my hubby and friend's fortunes as well. Here's the list of them, starting with my absolute favorite (which is on my fridge and that
sweet_kitsune had just told me the same message was on passive aggressive notes only a few days proir). Note: All of these are copied exactly the way they are on the fortune, grammar errors included!
- You laugh now, wait til you get home (fave!)
- To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. (eh?)
- He can who thinks he can, And he can't who thinks he can't. This is an indisputable law.
- There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.
- If you don't have time to live your life now, when do you?
- Impatience may be appropriate at this time.
- You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn't let someone else make yours.
- Fortune sides with him who dares.
- Smile. Tomorrow is another day.
- Your skill will accomplish what the force of many cannot.
