E-cards from W

W was a boisterous personality at the Office. He took a real liking to me, and after I got over the initial shock of some of the strange words that came out of his mouth, I took a liking to him as well. As a retiree, his days are spent playing with his house full of cats ("My babies," he says) and complaining about Italian nuns' underarm hair. He's never been to Italy before. 


I have a filtered folder in my email called "E-cards from W." It's collected over 100 cards over the last two years. I mostly open them when I need a laugh, or maybe just a smirk, or sometimes, complete puzzlement.


Honestly, I'm a bit afraid to click on some of the links he sends me--W was born in the 40s and has little or no concept of what a computer virus is. I don't dare open the ones that are titled "Cute cats playing with dolphins" or "fwd: A squirrel and a monkey kissing!!"  I just take his word that they are indeed adorable.


Since you probably have not come across an e-card since the 90s, I want to share some with you. Here are a few notable e-cards, all screenshots of American Greetings:

For my 23nd birthday...

For all your St. Patty's Day needs

Not really sure what this one was for

Yes, that is a pause button, because the cow talks
