This story gave me a good laugh
X-rated fortune cookies accidentally served at fundraiser
By ULA ILNYTZKY Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK -- A Chinese Year of the Dog fundraiser went, well ... to the dogs, when a box of fortune cookies with "triple X" rated" messages was inadvertently delivered to the event hosted by the Brooklyn borough president.
A box of 350 cookies stuffed with "the most graphically lurid" fortunes _ somehow got mixed up with a batch of 1,750 cookies ordered for the fundraiser, Borough President Marty Markowitz said Friday.
Some guests "were stunned, to say the least," said Markowitz.
The annual event _ to send 68 children from low-income families to summer camps _ at a restaurant in Sunset Park was attended by some 700 guests Tuesday evening. Fortunately, many had started to leave at the time of the cookie caper and only about 80 were witness to the inappropriate messages, Markowitz said.
The borough president was on the second floor of the two-level eatery when a guest _ Dr. Daniel Ricciardi, chief of rheumatology at Long Island College Hospital _ "yelled to me from the first floor: 'Marty, did you order these cookies? Did you see what's inside them? I think you better get your butt down here!"' Markowitz recalled during a telephone interview.
Markowitz, who wasn't wearing his eyeglasses, had the "fortunes" read to him by some of the guests, and "I finally realized what happened," he said.
"I'm sure they were meant for a raunchy bachelor party," said Markowitz. "They were not cutesy. Triple X to say the least."
He said his office had given the restaurant 10 slogans about Brooklyn to insert into the fortune cookies, and 1,400 were delivered correctly, containing such G-rated boosterisms as: "Brooklyn _ The 10th Planet," "Brooklyn _ it's more than a freak'in tree," and "Brooklyn _ it's like an everything bagel."
The restaurant manager was informed on the spot that the error was "reprehensible," and asked to write a formal letter of apology, which he agreed to do, Markowitz said.
Markowitz said the restaurant, Ming Gee, ordered the cookies from Ha Ha Food Company in Brooklyn. Neither returned calls for comment on Friday.

It could have been. Shit if I were working at that company and had barrel of fundraiser cookies sitting next to a barrel of XXX cookies, I'd probably mix things up a bit. 
blissedout - can you say 'kodak moment'? Those expressions would have been priceless.
