Today we were shopping at HomePlus and we found packs of 10 Christmas cards, with envelopes, for 2,000 won. The best part is that part of the proceeds are donated by Tesco (HomePlus's parent company) to various UK Alzheimer funds.

The best part was that one of the 2 card designs said "I Love Brussels Sprouts" on the outside. I'm not sure what that has to do with Christmas.

brusselsprouts....It's a cultural joke aimed at those from a British culture. So people from outside Britain won't get the joke. HomePlus (Tesco's) afterall, is a british retailer.

I won't bother explaining the joke here, because once explained it won't even seem that funny. Jokes that have to be explained never do. Smile

Long live the King (and i ain't talking about Elvis).
