I'm pondering which kind of fortune to write about. There's the kind of fortune that means you've amassed a lot of money, and the hypothetical type of fortune that determines whether events/issues will be favorable for you or not. Neither of them holds a lot of personal meaning for me...
How much money is a fortune, anyway? If you have more money than you'll ever need, is that a fortune? I've heard the expression "he pissed away a fortune" but I've never personally known anyone who did that.
Of course, I can't think of the word "fortune" without picturing Pat Sajak, Vanna White, and their proverbial wheel--my mom's favorite TV show.
The funniest fortune I ever got in a cookie came once when I was eating lunch with my friend and co-worker Steve D. It read: "Never depend on others to make you happy, you can do it yourself." Of course our minds immediately went to the gutter. I remember we started laughing so hard that I snorted ice tea out my nose!
That's it--all I've got on "fortune."
