Thursday Special ~ Birthday Greetings
A man wanted to celebrate his wife’s Birthday by throwing a party.
So he ordered a birthday cake.
The salesman asked him what message he wanted put on the cake.
He thought for a moment and said, put “Getting older but you are getting better”.
The salesman asked “How do you want me to put it?”
The man said ‘Well…put “You are getting older” at the top and “But you are getting better” at the bottom.’
When the cake was unveiled at the party all the guests were aghast at the message on the cake.
It reads:
>

“You are getting older at the top,
but you are getting better at the bottom”
Thank you Ramana, this made me smile!

I wonder why this reminds me of Nancy in her polka dot kini?

Motto, always check the product BEFORE leaving the shop!
Presumably his wife’s next birthday cake to him said “You are getting balder at the top but you are getting hairier at the bottom”

You know, GM, it was my birthday yesterday and my husband asked me what I wanted him to give me. I replied,”Just give me something with diamonds.”
So he gave me a deck of cards!

But Nancy, those diamonds do not last forever! Use them in a poker game, then you can buy diamonds that last forever.

Elly - A smile before you went to sleep!
Steph - You just reminded me… I* have been known to make a Birthday Cake of a torso clad in a bikini!
Nick - I won’t expand on that one!
Rhyleysgranny - Communication is everything!
Maynard - You keep thinking and you will be safe!
Magpie - I agree.
Nancy - I hope you had a great Birthday yesterday. Now if you try Maynard’s idea below…. best make it the stripped poker, because the last time I tried that they paid me double to put my clothes back on again!

Nick, my wife is off this planet. She can’t order the cake to your spec but perhaps you can on my next birthday.

LOL at this GM.
Reminds me of a memorial notice I saw in paper today, a very emotional remembrance poem which had [name] in every spot where the deceased’s should have been.
I shouldn’t have, but I laughed until I cried.

Ramana - If you are this direction for your next birthday. I will bake the cake and Nick might lead the singing!
WWW - The Belfast Telegraph is the best paper ever for those notices. You get a notice from everyone but the cat in there.
Betty - Very definitely!
Maynard - Oh Dear!
Judy - I am glad you found a smile today.
Alice - I know what you mean, (the comment was for the previous post).

I heard a joke once about an official who was leaving an Indian Embassy in one country (whatever that country was) and being transferred to the embassy in another country. He was given a small reception on his departure, and in his farewell speech he thanked everyone ‘from the bottom of his heart’ and ‘from his wife’s bottom also’.
Sorry I’m late with my comment. Weekend was wild……washing, washin and more washing…..
