I've never been a person who makes up excuses but that has never been my fault. Usually I was too busy, or a thing came up, or I had to stay late or I was volunteering at a hospital helping nurses put on stockings. But nowadays I think 'inventing excuses' is my calling. I'd like to elaborate further but there's a helicopter waiting to take me to the White House. Look, my life is complicated.
Today's card is a Cheer Up card, which can be sent to people who are being depressing. Typically that means they have some sort of problem or a bad thing has happened. My point? When someone's life stops being about blue skies, short skirts and ice cream, we send this card. I know, right? Where were you guys before you found me?
It's a Friday, and there are all sorts of dreary social obligations standing between you and a good book. That's where our Excuses Cards can come in handy. By the way, I'm not suggesting that I definitely believe in werewolves. Besides, whenever I suspect that someone is a werewolf I keep it to myself. The last thing we need is a panic.
Sometimes people get sad and nothing makes them feel better, not even shouting. You can even read out interesting facts about hippopotamuses from your notebook and there's no change in temperament. That's when this re-hash Wednesday card can come in handy. Hippopotamus is Greek for 'water horse'.
As an emotionally intelligent individual I’m aware that everybody makes mistakes. And I should know - I made a mistake once, a sad story that involves me sharing an ice cream that resulted in me having to eat less than half. Fortunately my fallibility makes me good at making excuses...
Alright, today I'm getting on a plane and flying to London. I'll be there for a few days, then I go to Basel in Switzerland, and then to Amsterdam. I need you all to be good kids. This means not setting fire to anyone's sofa. There is no need to appease the God of Fire; he doesn't love you, he is toying with your affections.
A lot of men find it difficult to express themselves emotionally, but that's only because a lot of men these days don't drink a lot of whiskey. Men, it's easy to speak your mind; all you have to do is make sure nobody is home, lock the doors and whisper. I can't believe we have a reputation for being unable to communicate.
If you're new to Wrongcards you probably don't yet know that I like to invent excuses for people. I'm a creature of misadventure and when it comes to getting out of tricky situations, well, I know all about it. You may think we're an ecard site or a webcomic, but really we're a Self-Help book. Send our cards and win at life.
Yesterday I went to a cafe in Watertown, MA, and there was a guy there wearing spandex who was staring at me suspiciously. I was worried until I realized that other people could see him too. So today's card is obviously a Public Service Announcement. You know ... if I wasn't saving the world I'd probably go mad.
You can go ahead and send this card to anyone - no need to wait for them to be sick. Let's face it, the odds of them being sick tomorrow is way higher than normal. Oh, don't thank me. Thank the government!
