Funny Birthday Greetings

Here are more funny birthday messages.  Some of these are smart humored birthday messages and others are pretty low ball humor.
  1. I usually try to give people a birthday card that matches them personally.  Unfortunately they were all out of the stone tablet and ancient papyrus greeting cards.  I guess this more modern version will have to do.  Happy birthday.
  2. I don’t understand why people get so bent out of shape over birthdays.  If you think about it, it’s the other 364 days of all the 365 days in a year that makes people so old.
  3. Hey if you think about it, over the hill is not such a bad thing.  After all, going downhill is a lot easier and usually more fun.  Think of life as a roller coaster.  Happy birthday.
  4. There’s one main thing that makes people stop enjoying their own birthdays.  That’s the day they realize that they will die some day. For that reason, I’m not going to bring up the fact that you aren’t getting any younger this year.  I’ll just wish you a happy birthday.
  5. Do you know what famous person was born on this very special day…  I don’t know.  I only know of you.

  8. If you have a birthday in the middle of the woods and no one is there to celebrate with you, then did you actually get older that day?  Happy birthday and have fun on your camping trip to the middle of nowhere.
  9. Who says you actually have to keep having birthdays?  We all stop having them sometime.  There’s a ton of  people in the cemeteries that haven’t aged in a long time.  Best wishes on many more happy birthdays.
  10. For your birthday I wanted to get you a special birthday trip planned for the only place I know you would die to get to go. Sorry, but they sold out of tickets for the time machine.  I guess you’ll have to enjoy your presents in the present.
