Do you all know the little game to play with fortune cookies? After the fortune, whatever it happens to be, you add the infamous words, “…in bed.” Oddly, this seems to work with almost any fortune.
So I just opened a fortune cookie (sesame chicken…. mmmmm… I just love sesame chicken), and I really cracked up, because today’s fortune reads (this may be one of the best ones ever):
Money will come to you when you are doing the right thing…
…in bed!!

Well, I assumed it meant “get a good night’s sleep”… did you think it meant something else? 😐

sometimes position has a lot to do with it… in bed….

my husband and I totally play that game with fortune cookies… lots of snickering at our table…

Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one with his mind in bed! 😀

Actually…. I’m not sure that’s true… 🙂

So true… so true! 😀

((And that is “public” in case you’re wondering. XD ))

Today’s Fortune: “You are not illiterate.” (In bed.)
I think that’s the first funny gag fortune I’ve seen. “You are not illiterate.” That’s really cute! 😀

Today’s Fortune: “We must always have old memories and young hopes.” (In bed.)

Yes! It’s a continuing series. Every time I order sesame chicken (maybe every two or three weeks or so?), I post the fortunes here. It’s an experiment to see [1] if “in bed” always works (so far, yes), and [B] if I ever get a duplicate (so far, no).

Hmmm… these last two aren’t quite as funny as the others!
January 18th, 2015 at 3:37 pm

Short, simple, and maybe the best one so far!
January 25th, 2015 at 7:55 pm

Also a pretty good one! 🙂

Kind of an odd fortune, but “In bed” still works!
March 26th, 2015 at 9:49 pm
Today’s Fortune: “Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.” (In bed.)
Hmmm… that may be one of the worst one for the “(In bed.)” gag. It sort of works, but doesn’t really make much sense. I may have to consider this one mostly a fail!

Well,… no,… I would think not!
October 7th, 2015 at 6:32 pm
Today’s Fortune: “If you work hard, good things will inevitably happen.” (In bed.)
Well that seems self-evident…
October 11th, 2015 at 6:44 pm
Today’s Fortune: “In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is. You’re what’s left.” (In bed.)
(It would have been funnier with just the first sentence.)
