I liked the part about the greeting cards for substandard recipients. So I came up with a few such greeting card messages:
> Thank you for being physically present, at least.
> I would say happy birthday if I was happy and you were happy. Oh well: Birthday!
> Thank you. You've done about as much good as harm. That's not bad!
> Happy holidays, but I still haven't forgotten that you're a racist.
> Here is a card with my respect, but I don't really believe in this tradition. Take it anyway, please.
> Happy Valentine's Day and stop keeping secrets from me.
> Happy graduation! You're almost like a real person now!
