When I was a child, my family visited a Chinese restaurant in Washington DC, and we received hilarious gag fortune cookies. Mine said "If you're reading this, the poison hasn't worked yet."

My mother's asshole boyfriend got one that said "Some people have it, some people don't. And you don't." He lost his shit. Fumed for days, and I laughed my ass off.

I got one yesterday that said “You will always live in interesting times.” I got a cursed fortune cookie.

Did you at least get to meet Rincewind, Two Flower, and Cohen the Barbarian?

Not an attack. Pretty solid advice in this day and age.

Pfft if I didn't listen to the judge, I'm definitely not going to listen to some dumb fortune cookie

Struggling with how to read that... Punctuation would help... Are the professionals trained in bed? Or is the reader meant to seek their help in bed? Instructions unclear, fortune cookie stuck in dick.

I prefer “… in prison.”

At least it didn't say, "You will have sex with your mother."

A rare occasion when adding "in bed" doesn't actually make it worse.

Seems like you do.

This would go great in reactionmemes too.

You know it's bad when the fortune cookies tell you to seek professional help

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

People other than Chinese restaurant owners buy fortune cookies?

seriously though, it is way more effective
