Laugh while waiting in line.

Once I was in a grocery store line. The person in front of me was having their items scanned. The cashier reached for a greeting card and scanned it. Then, she opened the card and began reading. It was one of those racy anniversary cards.

There was a run on blush by the customer.

Chutzpah was fully available by cashier.

for quick and easy scanning by the cashier. You've now given another good reason for doing this!

If you are not getting them at Dollar Tree, you are paying through the nose.

I really miss those "Contemporary Cards" we used to find in drugstores or bookstores

They were tall and narrow and hilariously funny

I have not seen cards that hysterical in a long long time
