Halloween Fortune Cookies

don't give in to temptation this week  anticipation is half the fun
its easy to suffer in silence  if they know you are suffering
seek advice for a difficult problem  why should you take all the blame
you are blessed with true faithful friends  who prefer to remain unnamed
positive thinking is the key to success  don't lose weight  grow taller
you resent your business and social superiors  and so do they
laugh and the world laughs with you  smile and they'll really get suspicious
beware before setting out on a new journey  where is your passport
you believe no one fully understands you  wrong that's not the problem
think twice before expressing an opinion  and they'll change the subject
