Fortune Cookie FTW/WTF

So I went out for Chinese the other night. It was good. We got Shrimp with Candied Walnuts and Honeydew and Orange Peel Beef and Seared Mushrooms. It was sweet and spicy and tangy and delicious. We had a nice time. Then the really unfriendly waitress brought the bill and our fortune cookies. I eagerly cracked mine open, hoping it said something about adventure or romance or my bright future. Here's what it said:

"You shouldn't overspend at the moment. Frugality is important."

Really, fortune cookie? I hadn't realized that going on five months of unemployment with three dollars to my name, I shouldn't blow it all on a mink stole. I'll have to cancel my order.

Maybe I should cut the fortune cookie some slack. During these tough times, with the housing crisis, the credit crunch, massive unemployment, our banking system in shambles, the cookie probably figured that's solid advice that could apply to any number of people, even the gainfully employed. I'll try not to take it so personally. Let's see what the boyfriend got.

"Your financial outlook is excellent."

Oh, screw you, fortune cookie.
