A friend was in Japan in a restaurant couple of weeks ago, where they had some kind of fortune cookie equivalent. His motto at the end of the meal read, "you will soon receive a present/surprise." He showed it to his waiter with a wink, expecting a sparkler on his ice cream or something. The waiter took offence, but after 5 minutes confused conversation between himself, his japanese hosts and the waiter, he ended up with a £400 bottle of spirits to prevent loss of face.

 

I'm not suggesting you put this anecdote in a fortune cookie.

 

Actually I am.

I love that site, which gets its stuff from the bsd fortune program:

 

The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following:

Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a

rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when

swerving away from the rabbit hits a pedestrian.

-- Frank Herbert, "The White Plague"

 

If you didn't have to work so hard, you'd have more time to be depressed.

 

Classic pan-asian fortune cookie material.
