A new business was opening and one of the owner’s friends
wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They arrived at
the new business site and the owner read the card. It said,
“Rest in Peace.” The owner was angry and called the florist
to complain. He let the florist know in no uncertain terms
how angry he was about the obvious mistake.
The florist wisely diffused the man’s anger when she calmly
said, "Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but just
imagine this… somewhere there is a funeral taking place
today, and they have flowers with a note saying, “Congrat-
ulations on your new location!”
