Million Dollar Idea
And since this is a public blog (although largely ignored), I guess anybody can feel free to steal it.
The other night, while eating Chinese food, I was staring off into space and thinking about how much I love sweet and sour chicken. After I had done that for 20 minutes or so, I decided to unwrap my fortune cookie to see what was written on the paper inside of it (not to eat it, I hate those things). Anyway, after reading "Adversity is the first path to truth", my lucky numbers (50,12,24,31,26, and 5), and the Chinese Word for "fruit" (Shui-guo), an amazing idea came to me.
Somewhere in a jar on my dresser I have an old fortune from a fortune cookie that I cracked open during the early 90's. It says something about drawing a picture or something having to do with luck and art and I've kept it ever since. But it wasn't until the other night that I thought...what if instead of being hidden in a coin filled jar, my fortune was on display in a little tiny picture frame?
And there you have it. The fortune cookie fortune picture frame. They could sell them in Chinese food restaurants and even make it so that the frames can be connected and form bigger frames. That way, people could collect all of their fortunes and keep them on display. At home or at work, there's no better way to elevate your mood than to reread some good advice or an old adage.
So there you go. Steal it and make my fortune. ¶ 4:35 PM

wanna know something funny?
i've always kept all my fortunes. i put them in my wallet, and then they fall out when i take money out & what not, or they're in the pocket of a pair of jeans i haven't worn in a month, and it makes me smile. they disappear, but i never actively throw them away. so throughout the years i've come across a lot that have stayed with me, at the bottom of a suitcase or bag, in a cigarette pack, under the bed, stuffed in a coffee mug of change...
haha i like your idea & you should do it. if you don't, i will & i'll find you & split the profit. :D
