By Dallas landers on Wednesday, February 08, 2017 - 03:48 pm:Perfect for the model T...
By Richard Eagle Idaho Falls on Wednesday, February 08, 2017 - 04:24 pm:Take your time Jim.
By Marv Konrad (Green Bay Area) on Wednesday, February 08, 2017 - 07:54 pm:What 'fortune'? I'm so poor, I can't even afford to pay attention!
By Marty Bufalini - Grosse Pointe, MI on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 05:46 pm:We used to add -- verbally -- to the end of every fortune cookie "in bed." It almost always works.
So Freighter Jim's fortune cookie would read, "What is most expedient is not always what is best", in bed.
I know, I know. I'm sick, but......
Try it. It can be really funny.
By Freighter Jim on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 06:17 pm:I was hoping others would post their fortunes from cookies but that is an unexpected twist ..

'Only fools and women comment on unfinished work'
Allan from down under.
By Sean Butler Huntington Beach, CA on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 06:29 pm:Ahhh... Confucius say,"Man who stick head in fruit drink, get punch in nose".
By Dallas landers on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 06:36 pm:Confucius say " man with hole in pocket"
Nevermind!
By David Dewey, N. California on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 07:17 pm:Confucious say "Man who stand in front of bus get run down"
Also "Man who stand behind bus get exhausted"
And, "He who laughs last is slowest!"
What do you call a Fortune Cookie without a fortune in it?
An Unfortunate Cookie!
Shad a daz daz!
(and if you know what that means, You're OLD! or a Vaudeville nut)
By Hal Davis-SE Georgia on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 09:27 pm:We went to a Chinese restaurant one time. My wife's fortune cookie had no fortune in it. I kidded
her that she had no future. She told the waiter, kinda half joking. He brought her another one. THAT one was missing it's fortune as well. I really ribbed her this time about not having a future. It kinda shook her up. She knew it was just a manufacturing defect, but still......
By Chadwick Azevedo on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 09:56 pm:Anybody else play the game of adding "in bed" to the end of fortunes from cookies?
By Mark Osterman on Thursday, February 09, 2017 - 11:51 pm:My favorite is " Never smell the inside of a hat."
By David Dewey, N. California on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 12:14 am:Chadwick,
Um, does anyone else want to ADMIT to playing that game??
Heh heh heh!
But not when the "little ones" are with us!
By Neil McKay on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 02:31 am:Years ago I got a fortune cookie at a restaurant. The fortune in it read, "You will attend a party where strange customs prevail."
By David Dewey, N. California on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 03:59 am:"In bed"?????
(Well, someone had to say it!)
By Hal Davis-SE Georgia on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 08:49 am:I suspect.....that you can order various "Themed" fortune cookies. I think some are geared explicitly for the 'in bed' game.
Over the years, I've had a couple of friends who had their own little games with fortune cookies. One would always say his said "THAT was NOT chicken." Another would say his read "Learn Chinese".
By Mack Cole ---- Earth on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 08:58 am:"meow"
I have a bad habit with fortune cookies.
I don't break them to remove the fortune.
I carry a Leatherman super tool and a small cheap pocket knife. Between the 2 about 90% of the fortune cookies I get have the fortunes pulled out with pliers thru the gap. People look at me funny but hey, they do that anyway so I am used to it. It is much more challenging than you would think to get that paper turned around and out of there without breaking the cookie.
By Larry Bohlen, Severn MD on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 09:58 am:Help....I am being held prisoner in a Chinese fortune cookie factory.....
By Chris Landry, Hudson, NH on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 11:03 am:Best fortune cookie I ever got in a Chinese restaurant said "You will be hungry in one hour."
By Gilbert V. I. Fitzhugh on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 11:11 am:Please disregard previous cookie.
By Ken Todd, ............Red Deer, Alberta on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 11:19 am:Well it wasn't a fortune cookie, it was an old Mexican that told me: Slow down and get finished sooner.
Try it, it works.
Then there was an old Eskimo that told me: When love is good it's wonderful, but when it's bad it's still pretty good.
By Shawn Hayward on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 11:34 am:My story has a sad ending , two days before my mother got sick,(November 12TH )
My cookie said
"expect pennies from Heaven"
Two days later Mom had a stomach ache , went into the Hospital , and never came out ,
Aggressive Cancer , passed January 21
By Peter Claverie, Memphis TN on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 11:57 am:My daughter and her class mostly group-dated at a local Chinese restaurant. They developed the saying that the fortune would not come true unless you ate the whole cookie before reading the fortune.
By David Dewey, N. California on Friday, February 10, 2017 - 12:52 pm:Our local, been here over 100 years (1912), Chinese Restaurant knows me pretty well, so once I carefully printed on the paper, "You have won a free dinner." Sandy was not amused! She also didn't fall for it. Oh well. . .
I like to claim mine says, "Fortune Cookie writers local 304 on strike"
Also there is, "Sorry please try other cookie"
By Fred Dimock, Newfields NH, USA on Saturday, February 11, 2017 - 08:28 pm:Fortune cookies followed by in bed got me into big trouble!
By Fred Dimock, Newfields NH, USA on Saturday, February 11, 2017 - 08:30 pm:Wait wait!
That came out wrong.
A Fortune cookie saying followed by "in bed" got me into trouble a long time ago.
By Fred Dimock, Newfields NH, USA on Saturday, February 11, 2017 - 08:43 pm:No
Saying in bed after reading a fortune cookie got me in trouble when I was in high school.
By Richard Eagle Idaho Falls on Saturday, February 11, 2017 - 09:02 pm:"Man with TT truck and bees in cab should stay in bed."
By Fritz Hady Mt. Top,Pa. on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 08:33 pm:My favorite--He who laughs the longest laughs the most
By Howard C. Sullivan on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 09:12 pm:I stayed at a motel run by Chinese one time, slept real good all night, but an hour after I got up in the morning, I was tired again..
By Erik Barrett in Auburn Ca. on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 11:48 pm:Dallas,
Confusius also say: Man going through airport turnstile sideways, going to -- somewhere in Thailand

By tommy coffey on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 12:17 pm:"That chicken... wasn't chicken."
By G.R.Cheshire on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 12:18 pm:"You have not yet finished life's journey..keep moving"
one of these days I'll figure that one out, it must have lost something in the translation!
By Dick Lodge - St Louis MO on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 12:32 pm:About fifteen years ago, my daughter was wondering if her boyfriend was ever going to pop the question. One evening, he went out to get Chinese food to go. Unbeknownst to her, he had carefully steamed open a fortune cookie, put an engagement ring in it and folded it back together. After the meal, he handed her the fortune cookie....
By Jerry VanOoteghem - SE Michigan on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 01:15 pm:I have a friend who owns a Thai restaurant. They do fortune cookies too. A customer brought his "fortune" up to my buddy. It read, "Man who go through airport turnstile sideways, going to Bangkok". The customer didn't think it was so funny.
By Trent Boggess on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 01:42 pm:The one you really have to worry about is "May you live in interesting times."
-- It's an old Chinese curse.
Zai jian,
Chuante
(Ending and name in Pinyin Chinese)
By David Dewey, N. California on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 05:05 pm:You know what you call a fortune cookie without a fortune?
An Unfortunate cookie!
Confusions say, "He who laughs last is slowest!"
Trent, Hmmm, how does that curse work if you add the usual two words mentioned above??
Someone told me to "Smile, things could be worse!"
So I smiled!
Sure enough, things got worse!!
By Marty Bufalini - Grosse Pointe, MI on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 05:49 pm:I hope you're all adding "in bed" to these.

By Dick Lodge - St Louis MO on Thursday, April 27, 2017 - 09:58 am:A variation on one of the fortune cookie comments.... Many years ago, if I was in a stall in a men's room, I would sometimes unroll about four feet of toilet paper, write "Help! I am being held prisoner in a toilet paper factory." and then carefully roll it back up again. (I was easily amused in those days. )

By Dick Lodge - St Louis MO on Wednesday, May 17, 2017 - 05:38 pm:David Dewey, your "smile, things could be worse" reminds me of the 1964 presidential election. People were telling me, "If you vote for Goldwater, we'll be at war in Vietnam in a few years." They were right. I voted for Goldwater and a few years later, we were at war in Vietnam....
