Double Fortune Fun

I have been on a Chinese food kick lately so I have quite the stock pile of Fortune Cookies. As a disclaimer, I do not believe a fortune cookie holds any mystic power (unless you count Tasting Yummy as Mystic). They’re fun to open up, read, and in my book: quite tastey. That’s all. No hocus pocus, no hoodoo voodoo. They’re JUST a yummy cookie.

Over the years, I’ve kept a few fortunes which, for all intents and purposes, are more Observation Cookies – not those of Fortune. Another disclaimer: no, I still don’t believe in them, even if just in Observance. Examples which I have kept for fun are: “Your ability to find the silly in the serious will take you far” and “You long to see the Great Pyramids”. Duh and…well, duh. There you have it – my life summed up by two cookies [insert both disclaimers]. Though really, that IS pretty close. I actually combined the two at one point, as I saw the Great Pyramids all the while being a little silly (pre-Fortune Cookies)…

Recently, I received a package with TWO fortune cookies! Two in one! Had I believed in Fortune Cookie Mystic Powers, this would have of been my pièce de résistance, by far. But alas, it simply meant two fun fortunes (or observations) and two tastey cookies for my tummy. Granted, I took pictures before chomping commenced just in case internet stardom was possible. HEY- I’m not above Internet Stardom….

And the two fortunes?

Fortune One: It is impossible to please everybody, please yourself first.

NICE. And to think I'm not a Fortune Cookie Mystic Powers believer. I am clearly missing out.

Fortune Two: Opportunity knocks on your door every day- answer it.

But what if answering the door doesn’t please me? Aww- we have a Cookie Impasse. They cancel each other out. I shall never know Opportunity as I do not wish to get up off my hiny and answer the door. Touché Cookie, touché.

If you ever had any fun fortunes (or observations) – I’d love to hear them. Of course, should you not share, or worse: shun this posting, remember... memory is foggy once one becomes Internet Famous. :-)
