When did we start accepting the bullshit that the Chinese have been putting in our fortune cookies?  

There was a time, when you'd get an honest to goodness fortune.  "The next time you walk through a door frame, your dick will fall off."  BAM!  That's a fucking fortune!  That's some one who has the BALLS to prognosticate coming events in your life.  That's a good goddamn cookie!

Now fortune cookies are watered down bullshit that won't hurt anyone's feelings.  They tell you  "you have a winning smile" or "the early bird gets the worm."  Who wants a worm?  I don't even fish asshole!

By far the worst "fortune" I ever got was one which read "Maybe you can live on the moon in next century."  What?  Maybe.  That's it?  Kind of hedging your bets there aren't ya?   and I like that it doesn't say "in the next century" but rather the less than atypical Asian stereotype of neglecting to include articles in a sentence.  

*Side note, I always think of Asians when I hear the word "stereotype," because they invented stereos.

I want a fortune to predict coming events.  I don't care if they actually happen.  

"You will be raped by Wilfred Brimley."  

Odds are I don't WANT it to happen!

OK...maybe.

And when did fortune cookie start putting lottery numbers on the back?  There are like 8 numbers.  What fucking lotto game uses 8 numbers?  And which day should I play them?  Damn you Chinese food, I have no fortune!  I don't know my lottery numbers!  AND I'M HUNGRY AGAIN!
