Why do I read fortune cookies?

[finesseQ]

I am a strong atheist though not a very vocal one. I don’t believe in destiny and I know that astrology is a big sham. I won’t read my horoscope even if I come across it somewhere. But I’ll always read my fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant. I was just thinking about it today. I don’t believe it’s going to come true, so why do I bother reading that scrap of paper?
