Ending on a sour note

You may want to think twice about opening that fortune cookie at your local kung pao palace. The New York Times reports that a Queens-based manufacturer (who distributes to Chicago) has been slipping not-so-nice messages into its batches. Fortunes like "Today is a disastrous day. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and "Perhaps you're focusing too much on yourself" have caused a stir.

We asked Brenda Wong, the manager of Chicago-based fortune Cookie maker Fortella, if she approves. "Probably not," she says. "They're supposed to be fortunate fortune cookies, not unfortunate fortune cookies."

Well, on the plus side, the old gag of adding "in bed" to the end of the message still seems to work just fine.
