My favorite of ones we sent out is the Far Side card with Santa and reindeer splattered on the nose of a 747.
Favorite one we received: Jesus is a bartender in a classic bartender pose with cocktail shaker in hand a a huge smile. Girl in party dress is sprawled across the bar reaching out her glass saying “Jesus Christ I need a drink.” Inside the card is a list of Jesus’ favorite drink recipes (along the lines of “For red wine: Fill glass with tap water, wave hands over the top.”)
I don’t remember the exact wording, but my sister found one a few years ago which had a picture of a (presumably) Eastern European old lady complete with babushka saying “Many birthday wishes to you!” and on the inside it read “Birthday wish is fun tradition. I wish for goat. Does goat come? No.”
My favorite, for a long time, is this belated birthday card.

The front of the card shows a typical, overweight middle-aged couple. Inside it says: “Happy Birthday from the High Queen of Glamor and her Jungle Stud”.
Madame P.'s favorite is a get well card. On the front is a bird walking on a crutch and wearing an assortment of bandages. The inside reads: “Who said a little pussy never hurt anyone?”
My mother got a card for her older sister’s 40th birthday that said “You’re 40!” on the front. Inside it said:
“…and I’m not.”
I got a similar card from my younger sister:
Happy 30th Birthday!
Now you are old.
Another gem from my sweet sister:
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful sister in the world!
Mom made me say that.
(Don’t laugh. She’s going to make you say it me on my birthday.)
One of my all-time favorites is the Sandra Boynton “Hippo Birdie Two Ewes” card.
