Fortune Cookie Game

[J.LeP]

I just wrote this for the newsletter of my PHC and thought I'd share it with BN. Any other "fortunes" you want to share? JOHN

Many years ago, my friend Jessica taught me the "in bed" game, which will never go out of style. It’s a very easy game to play, all you do is add the words "in bed" somewhere in your fortune cookie phrase. I recently found the file that "Dr. J" and I would mail back and forth with our fortunes, this was way before e-mail. After a meal, that would include Saké, Tsing-Tao and/or Kirin, I’d almost always end up rolling on the floor, laughing out loud. It was a very good thing that we were usually seated on the floor at one of those short tables. These are some of the better ones we collected, you figure out where the words are best placed:
•An inch of time is an inch of gold.
•An important person will offer you support.
•Do not desire what you do not need.
•Anything worth doing can be done.
•The shortest distance between two people is a smile.
•Use proven methods, avoid shortcuts.
•Your greatest fortune is the friend you have.
•Temptation usually comes through an open door.
•The hardness of the bread is proportional to the softness of the butter.
•Love is like paint, it makes things beautiful when you spread it.
•You have unusual equipment for success, use it properly.
•Our first love and last love is self-love.
•Magic time is created when unconventional person comes.
•It is not advisable to leap before you look
