Is It Just Us, Or Are Fortune Cookies Getting Racier?

We got this fortune at The Nice Restaurant down on East Broadway on Friday night. But shouldn't the lucky numbers be something more like 18006969696? [Related: New Yorker Talk of the Town piece on Wonton Food, and a Fortune Teller Fish from The Mermaid Inn.]

It's all related to ending the fortune with "In bed"...

Many years ago, a waiter in a Chinese restaurant asked my parents if they had a good sense of humor; they said yes, and the waiter brought them "dirty fortune cookies" which had deliberately suggestive fortunes. They found this so hilarious that they bought a whole bag of them from the restaurant and proceeded to give them away to all their friends. They thought it was the funniest thing ever. Hadn't thought of that in years until I saw this. :)
