Rude Birthday Card Messages
Rude birthday card messages: what to write
Some people only want the rude card. These rude birthday card messages are for them — insults with affection underneath, which is the only kind worth sending.
The rule for rude cards: punch at the habit, not the person. Then finish with one line that shows you mean well.
