No go?

So... if you go out and eat two plates at the Chinese Smorgasbord and are rather stuffed, but decide to have a Fortune Cookie after you have finished eating, just because that is what you always do, you pick one out of the bin with the tongs, take it to the table and crack it open, pull out the fortune and put a piece of the cookie in your mouth and it is ... stale... (Read, chewy, crunchy, cardboardy stale.) If you don't eat the cookie, does that mean that the fortune won't be true? Damn...

I don't ever get fortunes like this. The thing is... do I want my dearest wish? Do I even have one?
