'A fool and his honey are soon parted.' ...What?

Um...the cookie was good. I've never had a fortune cookie before. We didn't have them in Hong Kong. Well, maybe some of the tourist restaraunts did, but I've never been to one...

Sure you didn't read that wrong? Because I am familiar with the saying a fool and his money are soon parted, which makes more sense (and is quite true.)

No, it definitely says 'honey'. Which is why I'm confused... I've heard the phrase about money before, but...

Hm. I believe "honey" is often used as a slang reference for an attractive woman. Therefore, the message could be read as meaning, "A fool will soon be separarated from his romantic interest", or in other words, a foolish man will not be able to maintain a relationship with anyone worthwhile.

I offer no opinions on whether that is relevant or not.

Eh? But that's... We're going to stop it from happening in the first place.
