Greetings cards talent scouts

Is it possible there are scouts from greetings cards firms out there looking for fresh talent. Maybe they're trawling this forum right now for someone who can turn a decent phrase.

There could be big money in this, and given the rubbish already out there, they could do worse than employ any one of us.

So let's show them what we can do.

Here's my suggestion.

FRONT OF CARD
You're old
You're bitter and twisted
Let's face it you're f.u.c.k.e.d.

INSIDE CARD
Happy birthday Gran

Over to you guys.

FRONT OF CARD I bought you this card... INSIDE CARD Because it's your birthday. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennett

This isn't mine. I found it on a blog page last year - but the writer was happy for it to be passed on. "Please accept with no obligation, implicit or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally-conscious, socially-responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with total respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, and their choice not to practise religious or secular traditions at all... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Britain great (not to imply that Britain is necessarily greater than any other country nor is it the only "BRITAIN" in the northern hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, sexual orientation and choice of computer platform of the wishee. By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wishee actually to implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher." All you need now is a card big enough.
FRONT OF CARD Thinking of you on your birthday… INSIDE …But thinking of the planet tomorrow, so give me this card back so I can wish you many more happy birthdays whilst celebrating being green! FRONT OF CARD Someone told me it was your birthday… INSIDE …So I’m sending you this to see if they’re lying. FRONT Wishing a special person a special birthday… INSIDE …With this special card bought on special offer.

 

lol, I like the 'special offers' card! :) There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennett
