To ALL,

This one got forwarded to me & rather cracked me up. Consequently I'll share.

A shopkeeper moved to a new and better venue, and many friends sent flowers for his Grand Opening. It became clear that someone at a florist's shop had made a significant mistake when one of the huge bouquets arrived and the owner read the card: It said, "Rest in Peace."

Somewhat upset, he called the number on the enclosed florist's card and asked what was going on. It was clear from his voice that he was really incensed.

But he calmed down somewhat after the florist responded to him by saying, "Sir, I do apologize for this mistake. However, instead of being so angry yourself, why don't you consider the other side? Somewhere today there is a funeral taking place, and on one of the bouquets, the card reads, 'Congratulations on your new location.'" Received on Fri Jan 05 2001 - 12:00:45 CST
