[Highjack Shield]Many directors are also coaches but are barred from that role during competition. If they share a language with your opponent, they might be tempted to skirt the rules. Right now Russians are the common foreigners because of the breakup of the Soviet sports system. The Hungarians are leftovers from '56. It would be more of an issue in international competition, but it could happen. A well-timed curse just might keep them honest.[/Highjack shield down]

It should have said "Made for the USA".

Can't believe we're this far into the thread for the first mention of my favorite aspect of fortune cookie fortunes (I thought it was compulsory...): to read the fortune out loud, then add the words "in bed" at the end.

Of course, it could be just me...

That is always the way I have read them. Most of our friends now had never heard of it read that way. I told them it was there; just in white ink.

(I know it hasn't (yet) been printed on a fortune, but it's damn funny anyway.)
