Breaking apart yet another stale fortune cookie from Happy Moon Foods, Chinese Panda Noodle Room, Smiley Buffet, Yum Yum Chinese Restaurant and any other number of establishments my Viking and I patronize regularly, I thought on one of my stranger collections: cookie fortunes.

'Tis a small collection to be certain; I only keep the apropos ones and they stay in my wallet, perhaps fifteen total. Still, I find them amusing to peer upon whilst digging for a stamp (a whaaat?) or my Disney passport. Occasionally, I'll scribble on the back the date and place I received my fortune. I also like to practice the "Learn Chinese" vocabulary printed thereon.

Oddly, I share some with you ...
