I seem to get the same dozen fortunes in fortune cookies: remember three months from this day, now is the time to focus, keep it on the grindstone, you will receive something sometime soon, don't forget your friends &c.
But there is a huge variety out there, and I'm outright jealous of some: now is the time to travel; cut loose, you've earned it; you are about to receive a promotion; don't forget to relax ad nauseum.
Here's the thing: I once bought a bag of the things, and I got the same fortunes I always get except for the ones I shared with people, which happened to be the ones they always got. So I present Schrodinger's Fortune: the fortune cookie's fortune can be anything as long as it's in the shell and not claimed by an individual. As soon as the cookie is claimed by an individual, its fortune will become one of that individual's allocated flock. And at that point, once a fortune exists as one of a dozen potentialities, astrology comes into play. Which is also my exeunt.
Almost.
Another Schrodinger consideration: give me a pile of duck tongues and chopsticks, tell me to enjoy and I'll dig in and probably enjoy. But let me watch duck components go into a pot of boiling water that sits overnight on a pilot light, then, while I'm staggering around wanting coffee, say, "good morning, here, I cook breakfast, you eat" and hand me a bowl with a cloudy gray duck head floating in it, and there is no way in hell that tongue is even remotely edible.
