How To Read Fortunes
Here's the fortune I got after my super-romantic one year anniversary date:
You will have no problems in your home.
So, that could mean, "Lucky you, your home life will be easy and uncomplicated."
Or it could mean, "When a tree falls on your house, it will do so in the gentlest, least damaging way possible."
But it could also mean, "You will not tolerate anyone trying to make trouble in your house. Anytime someone does, you'll kick 'em to the curb."
Words. They're slippery little buggers. Sometimes I wonder if the invention of writing led to the decline of civilization. Damn those Sumerian accountants! (See? Personal property leads to tragedy yet again!)

Pretty reassuring, although the specificness implies you will have problems in bed away from home. Watch out for low-threadcount sheets when traveling, I guess.
"You will have no problems in your home with a battle axe."
I take this to mean that the looming threat of violence will keep visitors in line. Or perhaps there's no household project that can't be made easier with medevial weaponry.
On the subject, here's my favorite from a page of weird fortunes and here's an article on fortune cookie writer's block.
