Confucius Died for THIS?!?

"It's Hard for an Empty Bag to Stand Up Right."
I think there's a misspelling in there somewhere, but aside from that, what does it mean? Is it so stupid that it clears your mind of all rational thoughts so you can...what? Commune with the dumber powers in the universe? God too smart for you? Everyday life not challenging enough--need somebody to wetfart some philosophical felching leftovers onto a little strip of paper and deliver it, straight from the wheel in the sky to your bag of Chinese food?
That fortune cookie "fortune," which is really more of an aphorism, sucked. There's my "fortune." Apparently, all comments are now "fortunes." Maybe the "comments" tab under this article should be called "fortunes."
One of the best of these "fortunes" was the one that said, "You Have Accomplished Far More than Anyone Expected of You." Think about it. I saw the face of the guy who got it. He was thrilled at first, and then very, very sad. And fat. And, if my sister ever sees this site, I want her to know right before he read it, that yes, he did drop his ice cream cone and it smeared all down the front of his shirt. It was, actually, more sad than if a skinny person had done it.
