I can decipher the intended meaning of most fortune cookies, even despite the often-broken English, but I recently got the following one, and I’m really clueless as to what it might mean.
I’ve considered the following guesses about the subject of the cookie’s advice:
- The looming recession necessitating a change in one’s financial holdings
- Advice on driving safely
- An admonishment to save open documents often in case of a computer crash
- Coming to terms with dying / the end of the world
- Looking within one’s soul to find the light within
- The punk who writes these stupid messages just trying to drive me insane
I’m strongly in favor of the last one.
