only in a crazy society such as we live in, would such a politically correct
greeting have to be made. Sure, it is funny, but sad too.
Have a blessed new year everyone--I shall not try, this time, to remember
all of your names. May you all experience the nearness of the lord, and His
highest and richest blessings for your lives this year. May you all be
drawn closer to him each day.
With love and blessings to all,
Vinny

Subject: New Year's Greeting
Hi friends,
I wanted to send you a holiday greeting, but it is so difficult in
today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone.
So
I met with my attorney yesterday, and on his advice I wish to say the
following:
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 holiday, practiced with the
most enjoyable traditions of religious
persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the
religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their
choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a physically successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society
have helped make our country great (not to imply that The United States is
necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the
race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith 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.
Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message;
however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
Happy!!!!!
New!!!!!!
Year!!!!!!
Your friend,
Sharon
