Aphorism cookies?
What ever happened to Fortune Cookies?
They used to contain actual fortunes like:
You will soon take a long journey.
or
You will be accosted by tap-dancing cockroaches.
But now they are almost invaribly stuffed with aphorisms instead of fortunes.
Like the two I got, viagra generic stuff today:
A feeling is an idea with roots.
and
A clean conscience is a good pillow.
Not even adding “in bed” to the end can make these sound very interesting.
On the other hand, rx the best fortune cookie I ever got was also an aphorism:
The best love, is self-love.
Trying adding “in bed” to the end of THAT one.
