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

I bought this slightly more upbeat card at the same time.<\/p>\n

Hmmm. Is it more upbeat? I think it is. Maybe not.<\/p>\n

Both cards are by Glasgow-based artist David Shrigley<\/a>. You can buy more Shrigley greeting cards at Polite cards<\/a>, throw them in a drawer and scare yourself with them a year later. Or you can buy me these bone-china salt and pepper shakers, also at Polite.<\/p>\n

\"shakers\"<\/a>

Click to purchase.<\/p><\/div>\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
