I was cleaning out my nightstand and discovered this greeting card I bought at the Saatchi Gallery in London last summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"saatchi\"<\/p>\n

I remember being in being thoroughly entertained by the greeting-card selection that day, but I wasn’t as amused when I rediscovered this today. In fact, I thought, “What asshat gave me this?!”<\/p>\n

My favorite part of this shaker set is the note on the product page: “Please note: We at Polite do not endorse the consumption of salt, pepper or otherwise stated contents.” No pepper pushers at Polite!<\/p>\n
