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
