Here is what my fortune cookie had to say after lunch today. The Peking Noodle Company doesn't lie, right?



After all, I have never even heard of anyone filing suit over an unfilled fortune cookie, so it must be dependable.

I am not sure what is meant by "the Great Waters" but I have a hunch it is referring to something more tropical than Great Salt Lake or more translucent than Utah Lake...

I just hope it isn't the river Styx.

That's great. I have been to a lot of Chinese restaurants but have never gotten or seen that before. Safe voyage!

Well, you may have calm seas and fair winds, after reaching "complete bliss":

<font size="1">CROSSING THE WATERS
The religions born in India share a common symbol of salvation as crossing the waters. The waters represent the painful existence in the world, plagued by ills, a continual passing from life to death in samsara. Tossed about on the turbulent sea, the wayfarer finds rest only on the other shore, the firm ground of Nirvana. In the Judeo-Christian scriptures, crossing the waters is also a symbol of salvation, drawn from the historical tradition of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea under divine protection and later crossing the Jordan River to reach the promised land.

I would only hope the Chinese food was delicious. Time to sail on, crossing the water!

Too funny! We had a similar cookie a couple of years back. I scoffed at the time and now I am a full time liveaboard/cruiser... Be careful what you wish for!

At work, we all used to get together for lunch and go to a local Chinese food buffet. That is until we all became calorie conscious. We would all read aloud our fortunes and then add at the end .... "in bed" It makes for some funny fortunes and some great laughs. Now I can't even read one without adding ...in bed at the end even without reading it aloud. I have been ruined....
