Dear All,
I received the following greeting from a lawyer
friend:
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 2007, 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 South Africa is necessarily
greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, color,
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.
The same message from me:
Happy Christmas and a great 2007.
