And your fortune is...

So here is what happens to most of us at a Chinese restaurant after we have finished our meal...

The waiter/waitress brings us out a plate or tray of fortune cookies which usually looks something like this:

 

Then everyone grabs a cookie, not really because they want to eat it, but more importantly because they want to see what the future holds.  So we then rip open our cookies, pull out the little white papers, and take turns reading what's soon to come.  We hope for love, success, fortune, health, etc. but usually end up reading something like this:

What?

I didn't know I had a creative side?

What social skills?

I didn't think I underestimated myself?

My point here is they never seem to apply to us and sometimes you get ones that aren't even fortunes at all. They tell you things like, "Those who know you admire you for your sense of humor".  Great!  Now where's my fortune?

 

Then there's Matt (A.K.A. "Golden Boy" as some of his friends like to refer to him)

Fortune cookie rules don't seem to apply to him.  First of all he doesn't grab his fortune cookie like everyone else.  Instead he waits patiently as everyone else takes their cookie and then takes the last one on the plate.  He thinks somehow 'Divine Intervention' is at work here..."This is THE cookie/fortune I was meant to have."  Then he cracks open his cookie to find this:

Okay, maybe not exactly.

But he does find this:

 

and another one, that I couldn't find in his wallet, but he did carry around in there for a LONG time, just to remind me of it, was:

"You are the greatest in the world."

Now who else does this happen to?  Not me that's for sure!  I want to know if there is anyone out there who get's cookies/fortunes like my "Golden Boy", or if the rest of you get ones like myself?
