Oh, yeah!...

Just remembered one that I sent to my sister years ago...

Don't know who printed it, so I can't give credit where credit is due, but it went something like this:

On your birthday...
May no one look at your hairstyle, and then at your dog, and say "Oh, what a CUTE idea!"


...well, it cracked US up!
