Fortune Cookie Meat

Okay, so I have a habit of collecting every fortune cookie fortune I find. It is an interesting venture...just to be able to say, I've collected every fortune I've gotten. I decided to keep them all in my wallet- but pretty soon, sitting down became uncomfortable. And, now, I have a LARGE Altoids tin FULL of fortunes... I figured it would be interesting to display all the fortunes here...all 180 of them- so far. Sure, there are some duplicates- which i indicated with numbers in parentheses. And a number of other ones are just practically the same message, but worded a little bit differently- and I didn't list those as duplicates. Enjoy!
