[For three weeks, Josh & Katy blogsit]
Actually fortune cookies rarely hold fortunes anymore ... unfortunately. When we broke open our cookies after a meal at Burrito Art (more "art" than "burrito" but quite tasty despite that) we found the following non-fortune fortunes:
Katy: "Be charitable, it will be appreciated."
Josh: "Prosperity is our God given right."
A better pairing I challenge you to find.

My personal favorite was:
"You like Chinese food."

How come I can't find your email address on the site? I've got some bagel information you might be interested in. ;) Send me your email address and I'll forward to you.

Hey, don't forget to add ', in bed.' at the end of your fortunes...
Or is that too juvenile? :-)

In a fit of MSG overdose, my sister and I actually wrote a letter to a local chinese restaurant which we frequented well frequently complaining about the fortunes. I remember one line was, "My last fortune said I was a kind and generous person. That not only isn't a fortune - it isn't even true!"
Naturally, we didn't sign our real names to it. However, we were still embarassed to see it posted by the cash register the next time we went in.

Tim-
Yes. And it's unhygenic. "You will be visited by ants ... in bed."

Why do you have to bring up such unpleasant memories of my aunt? The horror!
