What are the odds of a knifemaker getting this fortune?

Character is to Man what Carbon is to Steel

I went out for chinese friday night and that was in my fortune cookie. BTW The sizzling beef was excellent.

Oh and one more thing,

Last year I bought a dozen 1/4" stainless folder pivots, I used 1 and I can't seem to find the other 11. They were in a small ziploc bag with some stainless 6-32 button head screws. I want to build another folder. If anybody knows where I left the bag could you let me know?
 
gotta be careful with those fortune cookies.... i got one saying that ide be miss america....you can imagine my disapointment when told they only allow women to sign up :)
oh and as for the pivots try your "JUNK DRAWER" you know the one that your wife throws everything you leave on the kitchen table in? thats where i find all kinds of stuff.... if you wait long enough its like christmas,

The better punchline to that joke is "Imagine my disapointment when I came in third!"

I checked the junk drawer, Where did all these paper clips come from?
 
I got 2 knifemakers fortunes

"Strike iron while hot" and "Constant grinding can turn an iron rod into a needle" (or a bowie into a paring knife :))

Check in the last place you'd look for your missing hardware....that's where i always find my missing stuff :confused:;)
 
I suspect that your next fortune cookie wil say that "you will find your lost baggie of folder pivot pins on the very day that the new order of pins arrive":D
 
They will be in the last place you look. Now if you can figure out how to make the last place you look the first place you look you will find them quicker. But then it will still be the last place you look, oh I am confused now. :eek:
 
Start looking for something else and you are guaranteed to find all kinds of things you didn't eeven know you lost. But not the pins sorry. Paul
 
Detroit, the pivots are in your sandpaper drawer!
Naweeeee, I won't accept a reward, just a "Thanks Michael" will do. :D
 
The same gremlin that steals your socks is the one that probably has your pins.

Cool fortune cookie. I remember when I was a kid we would go for chinese and my father would get his fortune from the cookie and say "Help, I am prisoner in fortune cookie factory!":D

Ok, that one blows the whole "... in bed" Fortune Cookie game right out of the water.

Or are me and my friends the only round-eyes who thought that was funny...

My favorite joke when everbody is sitting around the table reading them is to open mine and say, " Mine says Pay and get out round eye"
