Say What, Fortune Cookie?

I've mentioned before how much I love fortune cookies. Well, today I cracked one open and found these words on the little scrap of paper inside:

Take a loved one to a movie tonite.

Uh. Does anyone else think that my fortune cookie was being a little, well, commanding? As opposed to advisory or prophetic, I mean. See, I could understand if it said, "Tonite a loved one will take you to a movie." That would be a fortune. It would have been wrong, but it would have made sense. Whereas what I got was less of a fortune and more of... an order.

Now, I don't take kindly to being ordered around by people, but by a cookie? Give me a break (ha).

On the other hand, maybe the cookie was trying to tell me that if I do what it says, fortune will follow. Hmmm.

On the other other hand, maybe I need a nice long vacation. Come to think of it, that would have been a quality fortune: "You will take a nice long vacation soon. Very very soon. I promise."

*sigh*
