Perhaps the stupidest thing we saw during shiva

[rhu]

We got a fruit delivery during shiva with the following card. The first part was the personalized message; the bottom was the corporate slogan.

Our sympathies for your loss
Love,

That's so bad it's *almost* funny. You'd think they'd have someone objectively proofread their cards.

It reminds me of an only-peripherally-relevant story in my family: when my great-grandmother was in her decline (I think she'd had a stroke, and she stopped eating), she decided to provide for all her descendants one last time by placing an order from Omaha Steaks. So that week, we all received boxes of frozen steak in the mail. I couldn't bring myself to eat any.

Missing you at Con -- I wish circumstances had allowed you to be here.
