American Fortune Cookies
by Puyo Kulup

Am I the only person who has noticed the drop in quality of your average fortune cookie? They no longer even attempt fortunes but content themselves with the blandest observations about character, life, the future, who's likely to win the Hong Kong cricket cup, and other such burning topics.

Magellan's Log to the rescue!

On the following two pages you'll find some high (and we mean high) quality cookies. They are profound, and so ambiguous that you can find just about any meaning you want in them.

Not only do they read well, they look good too. We've spiffed them up with a variety of fonts.

In the best spirit of Late Capitalist Enterprise, we have, a-hem, borrowed them from all over and, in the best spirit of Microsoft (if you can't invent it yourself, take it and re-label it as if you did invent it), we call these "American Fortune Cookies." Hehe.

Suggested Use:
1. Print them (each page fits nicely on one sheet of typing paper), cut them up, fold them neatly. Hint: To make them a little more visible, you might print on colored paper.
2. Then carry a supply with you,
3. Leave one here, one there as you make your appointed rounds. One on the window sill of the bus or subway, another on the paper dispenser in the office restroom, another under the tip at dinner, yet another on the counter at McDonald's.
