Yep, that’s just how life is. Just as soon as you think things are going your way, something comes along to crush you.

I’ll second that notion, tbree.

I bet that’s the last time he reads his fortune even though it came true.

Last time I opened a fortune cookie it read,”That wasn’t really chicken.”

Tsk, tsk - you’re supposed to look both ways before crossing the street.

Rodney…It’s called Murphys’ Law!

Prim example / demonstration of said law !

Hope my HMO is better than Rodney’s . She looks strikingly like Nurse Mildred “Big Nurse” Ratched . Recovery for me would be stimied .

Not the nose! That 50% of Rodney’s body!

“… in bed!”

And it came true!

His nose was injured too. How painful. More painful is being served horrible Jello.

My fortune cookie said, “Hurry up and pay your bill. Other people are waiting for your table.”

Years ago on the show “Becker” Ted Danson had a story about good luck/bad luck which he called his ‘rubber band’ theory……. The rubber band get’s streched out so far with good luck and then…wham… get’s you in the end…..That’s when you look up to the heaven’s and say…”Wow I didn’t see that one coming….I like your work”…

My fortune cookie says that some dude name Rodney will get crushed by a horse and carraige. phsycic.

But Rodney’s fortune came true – he is being waited on hand & foot – because he can’t move!

Sometimes it pays to watch where your going in life if you don’t want to get crushed

last fortune cookie i opened said, “Help! I’m being held prisoner in a Chinese Bakery!”

Doesn’t matter if you watch where you are going. Even looking straight ahead, you’ll miss the piano falling from three stories straight up.

Why is Bung suddenly sober in the third to last panel? Did the green tea detoxify his liver?
