I realized I was chewing on paper at almost the exact same moment that I noticed the fortune had been torn in two. Rescuing the sodden half from my mouth, I laid it out next to the dry half, to reveal the following fortune: "You will learn from your mistake." I looked at my dinner companion and said, "Well, I'll never do <i>that</i> again."
