Funny florists

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

I really enjoy how businesses are lightening up in the modern era. Stiff collars are being loosened, walls pulled down and the sausage making business revealed with the “we are as human as you” disclaimer working well.

Case in point is an email I got from NetFlorist today. It started thus:

We couldn’t think of anything humorous to say about Proteas and Gerberas
they are fantastic value at R150 and R160 respectively but just not really
funny flowers (unlike strelitzias, for example, which are just hysterical).

So, we thought we’d tell you a joke:

Q: What goes ha, ha, ha … bonk?
A: A man laughing his head off

The good news is that we are much better florists than comedians.

Terrible humour but rather clever as it leaves me feeling familiar and friendly towards what is a large corporate.
