Whilst visiting The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in downtown Gosport in some excellent company last week we concluded with the (now) traditional Fortune Cookies. No surprise here, but what is their origin? Thanks to Wikipedia I can tell you.
The Fortune Cookie is a thin, crisp cookie baked around a piece of paper with words of faux wisdom or vague prophecy, usually served with Chinese food as a dessert. The message inside may also include a list of lucky numbers (used by some as lottery numbers) and a Chinese phrase with translation. Despite the conventional wisdom, they were actually invented in California, not China.
The paper slips are always good for a laugh but James Allen, Clipper’s new Training Supremo added a new dimension. After each proverb you add the two words as below:

The paper slips are always good for a laugh but James Allen, Clipper’s new Training Supremo added a new dimension. After each proverb you add the two words as below:
- Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve …. In bed
- Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world …. In bed!
- Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length …. In bed!
- Learning is lifelong ….. in bed!
- A rich man is not one who has the most, but the one who needs the least ….in bed!
- Your talents will be recognised and suddenly rewarded …. In bed!
- Happiness is a butterfly that may alight upon you ….. in bed!
Thank you James, and is it true you have introduced a new Part D training Course …. In bed?
