What kind of a fortune is that?!

The other day we picked up food from a Chinese restaurant. In usual Jeff fashion, he asked the guy (probably the owner) if he gave us plenty of fortune cookies. The guy laughed and grabbed a couple more for Jeff saying, "Ah, you like little kid. Here's some mo" (use your best Chinese impersonation). When we got home Jeff tore into the cookies. His first two fortunes were as follows:
Today, your mouth is moving but no one is listening.
You will receive an unexpected bill or financial report in the mail.

We were dying laughing. Are you kidding? Those are considered fortunes?! I swear the guy must have given Jeff cookies from the 'misfortune' basket that he uses for people who ask for more fortune cookies. We decided not to get the mail for a few days and well let's face it, I'm sure there are times when Jeff talks and I don't listen! I'd like to say that he might have learned a lesson about being greedy but I doubt it. He's the guy who grabs two handfuls of the mints when leaving a restaurant. So embarassing!!
