My future is broken

I opened a fortune cookie last night. Rather, the floor did it for me when the inedible novelty food fell and shattered.

"The skills you have gathered will one day come in handy," the fortune read, but motor skills probably won't be among them.

Does dropping a fortune cookie open negate its no-longer-concealed premonition? And must one actually eat the surrounding tooth-chipper for the fortune to come true? And why do I care so much about fortune cookies, anyway?
