My friend once got a fortune which read "Send help! I am trapped in a fortune cookie factory!" True story and funny because it was so completely unexpected.

I got "Now is the time to make circles with mints. Do not haste any longer."

Try figuring that one out.

In the late 1970s, a raft of fortune cookies in Cambridge MA restaurants were printed with the first line from fortune A and the second line from fortune B. This resulted in gems such as:

You enjoy having your own way, and are, on occasion.

And my favorite:

Your superior powers of comprehension will surely

I have kept one that says "About time I got out of that cookie"

and I had one once that said "your luck will change".

I was never very happy with that one... what if I was on a streak of good luck??

I once got a fortune that said "A jolly fat man is contemplating your demise."
