I did it all for the cookie

Yeah, the cookie!
I love those little folded golden brown things. Perfect with the hot tea to finish up a meal I just had boxed up because I will eat the rest probably as soon as I get home. But these perfect after dinner delicacies also come with a bit of wisdom. Perfect for starting inane closing up dinner conversations ending fortunes with ...and then you die (though most prefer "in bed"?).
My sister collects the things. She has so many fortunes that I have often thought it would make for an awesome and confusing ticker-tape parade. I have even kept 2 in my wallet for years.

Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing.
I once demanded another cookie from the waiter. I was so disappointed with the fortune I got, and really I wanted another cookie for later. I told the waiter I wanted a new fortune, he laughed and went to get me another. Later that night when I opened it I discovered it was empty. So I now am convinced that they had a box full of cookies marked "for complainers of fortune". Recently relaying this story to Chinese friend I was also informed receiving no fortune in you cookie is very bad luck...and then you die.
