I'm not sure how the topic came up, but I was whining to my Cuban fav about how Chinese fortune cookies are not really fortune cookies anymore. They're advice cookies. She had no idea what I was talking about. It seems that trying Chinese food has no appeal to her. So, the next time I got Chinese, I saved the fortunes, and showed them to her the next time I saw her. She was skeptical of my translation. But, after checking on her phone, she agreed they were giving advice, not predicting the future. Then she asked me what the numbers on the back were. I said they are supposed to be your lucky numbers, that you can use to play the lottery. She got excited, and said she was going to play them. I asked her if she would give me half the money if she won. She said yes. So I'm wondering, if we don't win, can we sue the Chinese restaurant?

That depends on whether or not your Cuban fav is also your mother.
@shadowcat since she doesn't drive a Delorean, definitely not.
Damn, I just realized, I forgot to tell her about adding "in bed" to the end every fortune. Better tell her next time. That could be on the citizenship test, what two words added to the end will make every Chinese fortune better.
"So I'm wondering, if we don't win, can we sue the Chinese restaurant?" is it their fault you chose the wrong lottery or misunderstood what they meant by lucky numbers?
@K are you a lawyer at a boutique law firm representing Chinese restaurants?
I often just eat the fortune cookie without even reading what's on the little piece of paper inside...
ClubFan81077 Norris doesn't read the fortunes in fortune cookies. He is their final misfortune.
I’m suing whoever the jerk is that writes the horoscopes in the newspaper. None of that crap ever comes true!
