Laughing!

I was getting ready to blitz the glitz...

That is good... Enjoyed it a lot.

So here is my greetings to all... chuckles.

"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color , age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting these greetings 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 wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or 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."


A very good year to all the good folk here http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/happy.gif

Dear Kevin,

I'll have to have my attorney examine your greeting before I can accept it with certainty of its political correctness; being sure it does not discriminate against any cultures or subcultures or sub-subcultures of which you may have overlooked.

But in good faith?

Happiness to you and all, this new year.

[void]

Likewise I cannot accept such a greeting without consulting my legal advisor. I will notify you of my decision of acceptance in due course.


(ps isn't that meloncat above on Hilarys link ?)

love it kevin.
and I accept.
May I have your permission to copy this and send it to those on my own mail list for whom I also wish to extend good wishes for the genrally accepted calendar year of 2006 so long as I duly note the original wisher and state that the aforementioned original wisher is in no way responsible for the outcome of the wishes?
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Hi

Oh, I wish I had written it... It was something sent to me and is doing the rounds... so I guess it is public domain.

My money is on it being written by a Californian Lawyer - New York Lawyers would not be so culturally sensitive and would have charged for it!
