Fortune cookies

I like fortune cookies because they taste like cardboard so I'm not tempted to eat them. I like the way the break apart and they have that little secret inside. Secrets are fun. I got fortune cookies recently that were beautifully juxtaposed. The first one said, "A man's conscience is his compass". Sure, its not a "fortune" but a truism all the same. The next one said, "A feather in the hand is better than a bird in the air." And I had to ask myself, "is this true?"
