I had to send some flowers to the funeral of a client's wife. I was in a rush, and instead of 'condolences' or something sensible, I put 'best wishes' on the card. I didn't really think about it until I was telling my boss and he blew up.

I told him it was a northern thing.

On the plus side, I'll probably never have to order flowers again. $:-\$

Did you attach colourful balloons?

Oh no.

At least it wasn't one of those cards that sings "Bad to the Bone" when you open it.

best wishes is nowhere near as bad as it could be. Could have been "congratulations!" or something

"Have a great trip"

Although I guess it could have been worse.

Should have gone for bust and said "So what are you doing Saturday night?"

oh and he may be a bit too distracted to ponder the intention behind "best wishes"

This is what I'm thinking. If all else fails, I will blame Flowers Etc.!

Best wishes isn't that bad.

Someone sent flowers to my grandfather's funeral with a card that said, "Get Well Soon!"

There are so many worse things it could have been, though.

It's a little funny, but I doubt they'll notice. Hey, maybe they'll even laugh.

Tonight some girl approached me at the Dirty Dozen concert and asked if I wanted to smoke some weed. I nodded and followed her as she led me back-stage. Once I was back there with the band she asked me how much I had.

I said,"What?"

She said, "I thought you said you had weed."

I said, "I thought you had weed."

And that was awkward.
