In today's world of technology, there's something special about receiving a physical handwritten message like a greeting card. Unlike a text message that can disappear in a pile of digital conversations, a greeting card is something you can hold on to, display, or rediscover years later and feel sentimental about. 
And some of these cards are too memorable to throw away because their messages are so bizarre or unexpectedly hilarious that they leave a lasting impression. 
Here are some examples people shared online. After seeing this, you may find the classic “Best Wishes” card a little too bland and boring, and we don’t blame you.
