Misfortune Cookies
You already know you won't be coming back to the restaurant. The wait for a table was inexcusable, the service bordered on rude, you're pretty sure someone peed in the wonton soup, and we won't even talk about the unidentifiable bits in the moo goo gai pan. Even the tea was weak. Now, you've just received the check - of course, the numbers are all wrong, and the bastards have included a 23% gratuity! Fuming, you pick the cookie up off the foodstained check tray and unwrap it. Breaking it apart, you carefully pluck the slip of paper from its stale shell and read the words of wisdom inscribed thereon.

Your eyes widen, and gorge rises in your throat. You've just been handed a

*Shock* MISFORTUNE COOKIE *Shock*



Banner for the Misfortune Cookies In/Out

Tired of the banality of your average fortune cookie? Now's your chance to change that! Simply come up with what you think that slip of paper should say. Make it something you would, perhaps, wish on your worst enemy. Make it sad, depressing, outrageous, funny. In short, do your worst.

And to keep things interesting, I will award 1000 GPs to the author of my favorite entry whenever this list rolls over! Of course, if I'm not online when it rolls over, I may miss a few - but it's okay to repost ones that have disappeared!

Please limit entries to a short sentence or two; something that would fit on a tiny slip of paper inside a cookie. To give everyone a chance, please do not enter if you already have five entries visible - wait for at least one to scroll off the bottom. Other than that, let your imagination run wild (with the rat whose brother you probably just ate)!

WINNERS!
