Office Cards

No, we haven\'t started playing poker in the office as well as darts... yet ;) However, we\'ve just had the first \"get well soon\" card of the year come round for signing and it reminded me of how I can never think of anything new/funny/vaguely interesting to write in these things. So...

Anyone got any good suggestions or examples of witty (and not-going-to-get-me-sacked) things to put in office cards for getwell-soon, birthdays, sorry-your-leaving etc or related stories of when the wrong thing got written?

I just say get well soon/happy birthday/whatever. I try to leave the jokes to people that are actually funny and the wisdom to those that are wise (or at least pass themselves off as such).

I did get one card once at a place where I worked that missed the mark. One of our tech support ladies was out on maternity leave about the time my birthday rolled around. Someone got both cards at the same time and passed them around.

Inside my card (IIRC; don\'t have the card anymore): \"Hope everything with your pregnancy is going well and that you have the baby soon! We miss you!\" Something to that effect.

Ummm...yeah. :rolleyes:

Got these in E-mail:

Ever wondered what happens when Hallmark writers are having a bad
day........



My tire was thumping.
I thought it was flat
When I looked at the tire...
I noticed your cat.
Sorry!


Heard your wife left you,
How upset you must be.
But don\'t fret about it...
She moved in with me.


Looking back over the years
that we\'ve been together,
I can\'t help but wonder...
“What the heck was I thinking?\"


Congratulations on your wedding day!
Too bad no one likes your husband.


How could two people as beautiful as you
Have such an ugly baby?


I\'ve always wanted to have
someone to hold,
someone to love.
After having met you ..
I\'ve changed my mind.


I must admit, you brought Religion into my life.
I never believed in Hell until I met you.


As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...
That you\'re not here to ruin it for me.
Congratulations on your promotion.
Before you go...
Would you like to take this knife out of my back?
You\'ll probably need it again.


Happy birthday! You look great for your age.
Almost Lifelike!


When we were together,
you always said you\'d die for me.
Now that we\'ve broken up,
I think it\'s time you kept your promise.


We have been friends for a very long time ..
let\'s say we stop?


I\'m so miserable without you
it\'s almost like you\'re here.


Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Did you ever find out who the father was?


Your friends and I wanted to do
something special for your birthday.
So we\'re having you put to sleep.

Unfortunately nowadays, due to the minefield that is office politics, one man\'s \"witty\" is another man\'s \"-ism\"

I\'d play it safe and get a stamp made - \"Thinking of you.\" and have done :p

i tend to go for the safe option except when it\'s someone i know well (you just have to get there before all the good phrases are taken). for a friends birthday i went with the old \'its better to be over the hill than buried beneath it\' and the classic pregnancy one \'it\'s gonna get worse before it gets any better\'.


i wonder why noone speaks to me......

Always just sign your name, optionally with a one or two word well-wish, and then sign somewhere else with an unreadable name.... something so scribbly that they could never read it.
