Holiday Greetings to Everyone!
I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my family, friends and clients, but it is so
difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending
someone. So I met with my lawyers this morning and on their advice I wish
to say the following: Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for
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 your/their choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition on the onset of the generally accepted calendar
year 2007, but not without due respect for all the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country
great (not to imply that Canada is necessarily greater than any other).
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:
(a) This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal.
(b) It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.
(c) 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 this 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.
