BS: Misfortune Cookies - Design your own...

This is a cool idea to liven things up at your local Chinese restaurant. Make up your own fortunes and insert them into the fortune cookies. It's quite easily done with a computer printer. Here are some I came up with:

"Of the 7 Deadly Sins, Gluttony is the one most likely to lead to your demise."

"You are soon going to have an intimate encounter with a motorcycle gang."

"Please say a prayer for the alley cat you just ate."

And then of course there is the old, old one: "Help! I am being held prisoner in a Chinese fortune cookie factory."

Make up your own Chinese mis-fortune and add it to this thread...and try to be subtle...

We do this every year when my husband has his graduate students over for dinner. So far the favourite one has been "During your orals, you will fart uncontrollably."

Some years back, I was the treasurer of a small organization. One evening, after the executive committee had a grueling all-day meeting, we decided to go out for Chinese. The president asked that I take enough cash from petty cash to pay the bill, so that nobody would be out of pocket for the expense. When the fortune cookies came, mine was "The person having dinner with you does not intend to pay the bill."

My daughter and I separate ones for kids and adults, and a few other categories, nice and vicious. We have about a hundred and twenty we like okay. I'm not sure if most are new.

Your parents read in a magazine that spankings are good for you.

A dog eats your homework and for some reason nobody believes you.

Turns out being a Famous Spy wasn't a good combination.

No you can't have a pony.

You will be kidnapped and abandoned in the French countryside by a greedy butler out to steal your fortune.

You'll be famous for a skateboard move, the "fall-ie".

You teach your pet to talk, it tells you to clean your room.

In being kind to others, you recieve kindness back, we guess.

Your mom wants a Nautilus, a stupid elf puts you on the naughty list.

Your hard work gets noticed. They give you more hard work.

Moles begin drawing mysterious signs in your yard.

Elton John thinks you lived more like a fart in a whirlwind.

Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgement, dude.

Your fortune is very important to us. Please hold.

A guy who eats cream corn with his mouth open will have a crush on you.

You'll meet a tall dark strangler.

Your future contains violence and profanity but no sexual situations.

You'll never find the right haircut.

You'll find Joy in a bottle by the sink.

Your job will be a joke, you'll be broke, and you'll have that damned "Friends" song stuck in your head.

Your business venture succeeds, Bill Gates!

Your actual "girlfriend" actually won't "go there".

You live in the imagination of others, dressed as a Klingon.

You fall into a burning ring of fire.

etc.

All of your genes are recessives.

Don't ask. Don't.

Oh no! That's awful! We're so very, very sorry for you.

Your roommate is a "made man" with the mob.

It's not going to get well, you know.

THIS is the high point of your life.

Stop picking it!!

Well, thanks so much Kim. I try pathetically hard to be funny, while other people just have a gift. The effort probably sours me, I become a jerk, and I neglet to express a little appreciation when I ought to. Nice of you.

I'm thinking it would be fun to have a book of cartoons with no captions, see what my kids come up with. In fact--I'm not sure of the kosher way to post an image, but it would be a hoot to see what catter's came up with for a situation. I'm probably just passing along a disease to my kids. My little boy jim is a genius of comic timing, and can kill everyone just by singing out Kum-bay-yah! at unexpected moments.

No kosher way to post images, Fred, it's frowned upon, sorry...good idea, though.:-)

You eat with that filthy mouth?

Batten down the hatches

Compliments of the woman at Table Seven...your mother!

Very good (karate)chop, Grasshopper, if a little overdone, now clean up the crumbs.

Tomorrow is another day.

You are older than that, now.

You really read these!?

Stick a spoon on your nose and all your wishes will come true.

Kim C, no. I'm sicker than those people.

Kat--for a minute I thought you were still addressing me and I wondered which filthy ones I'd posted.

Great wisdom is given to you, you wake up and forget it.

Your music career will be impeded by what the deaf call "those stupid hearing people".

Opportunity knocks, waits, then keys your car.

The words "by reason of insanity' will give you hope.

You'll wish you'd had those nude photos done professionally when you were younger.

It's not whether you win or lose, it's just You Lose.

You can succeed at every virtual thing!

You'll survive a close shave. Then a second blade comes along to shave you even closer.

Your bosses abscond with the balance of all your butt-kissing.

All the people you feel superior to suddenly die.
