SO OFF TOPIC YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and colleagues, but it is difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer yesterday, and on 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 summer solstice 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 fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendar of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great ( not to imply that Wales is not necessarily as good as 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 / him or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. The 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 new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher .

Best Regards ( without prejudice )

My solicitor is currently reviewing you alleged greeting, when he acknowledges the validity and accuracy of the said document and has his reply notarised and confirmed by the Law Lords, i shall accept it........

Be at peace with your God folks.

Well you northerners ought to be offended. The next year is 2013, not 2012 and it is clear that this was written for the southern hemisphere (actually NZ, with reference to the privacy act - one of ours). So you will have issues with jurisdiction if the statement were to be challenged in court.

Take care in the snow and I'll might be thinking of you as we bask in the after glow of Cyclone Evan :)
