A Bit of Levity - because I need some this week

Two bits of randomness have come into my life and made me laugh this week. So I thought I would share.

FIRST: This lovely Valentine's Day Card appeared in our mailbox from our Alma Mater.



That's the school logo in the middle and a statute on the main building in campus on top of the heart. In some ways I guess this references the celtic claddagh, or at least that's the association that comes to mind. But, what really comes to mind is: did you honestly pay someone to design that graphic? And someone else approved it and thought it was good idea? Really?

On the back it says "Happy Valentine's Day Alum-mates". I guess that because, unlike BYU, not many of our alums tend to end up together (something to do with most social interaction taking place in a drunken stupor), they want to make a big deal out of us. It's nice to know they're thinking of us anyway.

We have given this lovely card a place of honor on our mantlepiece, so we can share the joy.

SECOND: I found this the other night. It's just too funny for words. As they say, "Now everyone can have one in the oven!"

  2. WOW. The card is ... ummm... special, and not unlike a logo I would picture on an old christian tract or something. The cookie - crazy. Gross.

  4. That's hilarious. The alma mater card. Though I have to admit I loved college so much it doesn't seem inappropriate -- to send a valentine to the mother of our souls? that seems appropriate...

  5. The card and your commentary made me laugh! I'm with you--someone actually designed this? and approved it? ah, I love it.
