A new businees 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.
After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said. "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, "Congratulations on your new location."
what's the different between the two wishes?

Owh, they switched cards? hehe.. I hope the flowers received are the right ones, since there are flowers specifically for funeral. Btw, good joke :D
BalasPadam:) good joke.
BalasPadamAnd speaking about flowers, can a Muslim put flowers on a nonMuslim's grave, just like Malay Muslims who usually 'tabur bunga atas pusara'?
