However, I have it on good authority, that the fortune cookie idea was first introduced by an American running a Chinese restaurant in or around San Francisco in the late 1800's. Interestingly, when my wife and son (who are Chinese, born and raised) first saw “Chinese fortune cookies,” they both thought it must be some sort of french pastry, and — imagine the surpise on their faces when they bit in and found they had a small mouthful of paper! Anyway… what I’m leading to, is that I take the artistic license to call these quips or quotes or whatever they are “Fortune Cookies.” I figure if those restaurant owners can get by with it, I can too! So without further ado, here are ten randomly chosen (just for you) fortunes. May they serve you well!
