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!!

Today’s Fortune: “Love in its essence is spiritual fire.” (In bed.)
That was a good one! 😀

Today’s Fortune: “Successful leader knows the way, shows the way, and goes the way.” (In bed.)
Another good one! 😀

Today’s Fortune: “The life of every woman or man — the heart of it — is pure and holy joy.” (In bed.)
“Holy joy”? But it works pretty well in bed!

Today’s Fortune: “A beautiful person is with you, confide your problems.” (In bed.)
I looked everywhere,… no person, let alone a beautiful one. Cookie lies! 😮

Today’s Fortune: “Your career is moving more and more toward service to others.” (In bed.)
Funny! (Although, inaccurate. Hello, retired person here! 😀 )

Today’s Fortune: “A friend asks only for your time and not money.” (In bed.)
As an “in bed” gag, one of the funnier ones! (As a general principle, a good rule of thumb, but true friends can help each other out in times of need.)

Today’s Fortune: “Failure is a dress rehearsal for success” (In bed.)
Not real funny, but the gag continues to work. (There’s a whole thing, a serious discussion, about the importance of failure, but this isn’t the place.)
It’s been a while since I ordered sesame chicken. I’ve missed it. The guy actually remembered me, shook my hand, and commented about how long it’s been. I guess I better order more often!
OTOH, I’m bummed I only got two fortune cookies; I usually get three.

Today’s Fortune: “Failure is the mother of all success” (In bed.)
Weird. Not duplicates, exactly, but both fortunes are very similar.

Been a while since I ordered the sesame chicken from my local place. I’ve been meaning to rectify that…

And yet I still haven’t. Not sure why not. Don’t do something for a long while, and it can be hard to back into.
