A florist received an outraged telephone call from a man who had
moved
his restaurant to a new spot in town. The restaurant owner had been
sent a funeral wreath along with a card that read:
SINCEREST SYMPATHIES.
The florist realized that he must have mixed up two orders and shuddered
to think of the flowers that should have gone to the restaurant man. He
had sent to the funeral a clover design of red roses across which was a
bright green ribbon bearing the inscription: =20
BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR NEW LOCATION.
