Fortune Cookie Angst

"You are a friendly and loving person; others bask in your presence" (Fortune Cookie). Well, thanks. I always appreciate insightful comments into my character. But what happened to cookies that tell me "Beware the tall, dark stranger" or "You will soon take a trip"? I love to get forecasts—dire or otherwise. It's not that I believe in them (although you never know . . .). But if something is called a fortune cookie, darn it all, it should tell my fortune, however haphazardly. Although I seldom get predictions in my fortune cookies, others around me do. After I have lunch in the Chinese restaurant next door to where I work, I usually bring back a fortune cookie for one of my co-workers. Not only have the last three contained predictions for her, but they've all come true. Maybe I'll turn to tea leaves.
