Fortune Cookie

I don't exactly understand why they call them "Fortune Cookies" because most of the time they don't really have a fortune-which lets face it is a little paganism with Egg Roll and Chopsticks. Usually the tiny slip of paper you uncoil from the cookie contains words of wisdom or your winning lottery numbers-again a bit of paganism to help you digest all that MSG.

Your Fortune Is

It's ok to let a fool kiss you, but don't let a kiss fool you.

See, it's just a proverb. And then there are those games you play with Fortune Cookies, **cough** Erin Pinkley**cough** , that we just won't do at this moment. On the other hand I was thinking that it'd be a nice job to be a Chinese-Proverb-Cookie-Writer...and I'd either make up a bunch of ludicrous phrases or simply end up giving people Chinese Proverbs like

• Add a flower to a bouquet.
• Add frost to snow.
• Like neither a donkey nor a horse.
• Add legs to the snake one has just painted.
• If the lips are gone, the teeth will grow cold.
• Once a tree falls, the monkeys on it will scatter.

And so on. (Those are real proverbs) So on this lovely 9th day of September 2005, enjoy a Proverb from a baked good. CHOW MEIN!
