'Happy Holidays' ... and No Offense!

[Guest guest]

Just received the below holiday greeting from a friend (an American

Marketing Association Member, need I say?) and had to share ... *lol*

 

**********

 

Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my 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 and/or secular practices of

your choice, and with full respect for the religious/secular

persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to

practice religious or secular traditions at all ...

 

and, under the same terms and conditions, for 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, and

without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability,

religious faith, mental capacity, choice of computer platform, or

sexual preference 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 wisher to actually 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.)
