Disclaimer: Keyna encouraged me to put this story up on my blog.
Today Keyna and I were in a chinese restaurant having lunch. I had been getting her up to date with world (well actually US) news - for which she was not even slightly grateful (what plane? IRS? Have they asked him why? (no he's dead), why is Tiger Woods having a press conference? etc) - and in revenge she was telling me about her day, which had been bad.
So I am listening to the tale of the morning, and being sympathetic, and feeling very full of lunch when I spot the fortune cookies that the waitress had left. Oh ho! something to fiddle with...I open one up, pull out the fortune and read it...then read it again, then start sniggering, all the time with Keyna's tale of woe going on in my ear.
She stops and looks suspicious, What?
Erm... nothing (snigger)
What does the fortune say?
Well you might not think it is funny :D
Tell me anyway!
Ok then:
Fortune says:
The time is right to make new friends
I think that is a very pointed attitude for a fortune cookie to have. (Though it is possibly an improvement on 'help, help I have fallen into the fortune cookie machine...")

for the record, I wrote my version before I read yours, and I have to say...yours wins hands down. (I didn't put the part about my absolute lack of interest in world affairs...wonder why?). :-)
Why thank you - I like yours too (mutual admiration society!). I have edited it to read 'US news' before I get in trouble with my other readers.
