The Card I Won't Be Buying

I may have been in a popular card retailers this lunchtime, where I might have been browsing the Valentine cards.

The selection of cards were the pretty much the standard offerings, but then I came across one printed with the words

"You are the Strawberries and Cream of my Desire"

It was illustrated with an insipid drawing of strawberries and cream.

Something about this sentiment just made me think "yuck". Is that really the best people can come up with?

I actually quite like strawberries and a little bit of cream but I still wouldn't want to receive this card. The OH can't stand either though so if I were to receive this, it wouldn't be a good sign. I don't think they'd sell many cards with his preference : "You are the mature cheddar of my desire".

Quite right...anyone with a touch of class would know strawberries are best consumed with a sec champagne to bring out the flavour...

(Oh sorry, wasn't that on Pretty Woman?)
