The UNOFFICIAL Shoebox Greetings® Funny But No Cigar
If you're the type of person who enjoys standing in the greeting card aisle of your local grocery store and guffawing at every card, you will enjoy this page of salvaged greeting card rejects from Hallmark's Shoebox Greetings' late, lamented "Funny, But No" web site.
Every week, Shoebox Greetings took the best of the rejects and posted them on its site under the "Funny, But No" category. Humor from Shoebox is often funny, quirky, and tasteful at the same time, and the cards that don't quite make the grade are lacking the right balance of humor.
A little too weird and a little off-color, they will still make you laugh because you can't imagine actually giving them to any one.
Please note: These archives only go up to Oct. 13, 1997. Later entries from the original FBN site are no longer available.
