Caught this funny scene on the meaning of cheap greeting cards in a recent episode of the BBC series Sherlock:
Sherlock (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) is helping John Watson (Martin Freeman) and Mary Morstan (Amanda Abbingdon) prepare for their wedding. Mary asks Sherlock if she should include John's cousin on the top table and hands Sherlock the RSVP card they received.
"She hates you. Can't even bear to think about you," says Sherlock
"Seriously?" asks Mary.
"Second class post, cheap card, bought at a petrol station. Look at the stamp. Three attempts at licking, she's obviously unconsciously retaining saliva," replies Sherlock.
A funny reminder that cheap greeting cards send more information than the message we may have written inside them.
