Fortune cookie

Jonathan and I split the last fortune cookie like a wishbone, and he got the fortune on his half. When he opened it up, he read:

":-) You have a deep interest in all that is artistic. :-)"

We pondered this. He handed it over. "You can have it."

"Your winsome smile will be your sure protection."

That was Meg's. So real!

"Time to collect those goods."

My table immediately applied this to wedding showers. :-) Personally, I liked Amelia's fortune:

"Romance could divert your attention away from money matters today."

My response was, what day couldn't romance outrank money?? I ask you!

You are in the vicinity of a good time. Get the shy to join in.

This gem is from my fortune-cookie-fortune wall here at the office.

"Depart not from the path which fate has you assigned."

Query: If fate has assigned it, how could you depart even if you wanted to? Doesn't fate affect our wills too?

And I adore the word order. It's so English-as-a-second-language.

If your desires are not extravagant, they will be granted.
