    I live across the street from a Chinese buffet place, and well.. I bought a baggy of fortune cookies for 1$.
    I started to eat them, I'm on my second one, and it's the EXACT same fortune as the first cookie... wtf are the odds?

    You also have to factor in the chance that he DIDN'T get the same one twice in a row.

    Pretty lucky. Go buy some lotto tickets now
