I got one that said "Soon a short stranger will enter your life." Who comes up with these things? A SHORT stranger? Why not a fat stranger or a tall stranger and a bald stranger? And how soon? And WHY? Why would I want or need a SHORT STRANGER (SS) in my life? What is this SS going to be doing in my life? Is he or she always going to be a stranger or will they only be a stranger only for a little while? The thing about fortune cookies is that they are supposed to be vague right, but this one isn't exactly following the rules, is it. It didn't say 'Soon a stranger will enter your life', which would not make me question it at all. A stranger could be a person you meet at the store or gas station. But here's the thing, they said a SHORT stranger, which makes it a bit more detailed. Anyway, it just cracked me up. And when I say it cracked me up, I'm not exactly sure if I mean it cracked me up as in "made me laugh' or it cracked me up as in "made me crazy." Maybe a little bit of both.
Now how's this for crazy...
Every time I think of short people I think of the Randy Newman song that goes:
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people`round here
Short people are just the same
As you and i(a fool such as I)
All men are
the day they die (its a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
Theyre gonna get you every time
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people round here
If you want to hear the song for yourself, listen to track number 108 on my playlist below.

Hiedi, short people are people too. I actually think they prefer to be called "people of short stature, or people who are vertically challenged" :-)
Several years ago, I got a fortune cookie that said "you will be married soon". That was at least four years ago, and guess what.... i am still single!
Hey Heidi, I'm shorter than you so were you referring to me? :( We have feelings.. we do
