Comment cookies

I'm now used to not getting an actual fortune in my fortune cookie. In fact, I tend to call them homily cookies, since the fortune has devolved into a bland platitude.

But today, my cookie went one worse: it just had kind of a comment. Maybe it's a bad translation of an actual Chinese homily, but if so, it doesn't translate at all well. What did it have to say? This:

A modest man never talks to himself.

Uh. OK. Sure. And a vain man is way chatty.

Hey, I know someone like that. So maybe there's something to this after all. :)
