Be right back. We’re just booking ourselves an appointment at this fun place called the Holly Ridge Veterinary Hospital. Legend has it they used to be a comedy club but they couldn’t draw in the crowds. So they took some marketing risks – and it’s paid off. Massive props to the pun, even though it has nothing to do with vets or animals.
This sign exists solely to delight and elicit chuckles. What a great way to greet patrons as they enter, people who are most likely anxious about their pet’s health. Happy people equal happy pets, and this hospital shows us how to set the right mood.
You Most Likely Have Cats
Ghosts in the house? Maybe. But we have a sneaking suspicion that this house has a cat that is gleefully seizing the day. You’re forgiven for thinking the house is haunted. Cats and ghosts share similar traits, after all. Both are fabulous denizens of the night, noiseless and inscrutable, friendly with a side of malicious intent. Both jump at you when you least expect it, but the chances of a cat biting you unprovoked are much higher.
Don't get it twisted, though, the methods of dealing with each are not the same. Even though it might seem perfectly reasonable to bring in a priest to exorcise the demons in your home, "demons" can't refer to your cats here. They may just need a bit more time in the sun.
But First, Coffee
This feels like it was written by one of those angry-looking birds whose feathers are always ruffled. Maybe a penguin that is malting. Either way, where’s the lie? Coffee makes everything better. Most of us live for those brief moments of peace each morning, sipping quietly, waiting for this elixir to work its magic.
So, it seems crazy why anyone would want to discuss work, love, and life before morning coffee. Do you like disappointment and despair first thing in the morning? Are you a sucker for pain? Coffee gets us out of bed most days, as do our pets.
Vel-Crow Power
Finally, a joke about crows! The world has plenty of stories about wise owls and peaceful doves. Crows have had horrible PR since we can remember, thanks to hyper-imaginative authors and Hollywood filmmakers. "Vel-Crows" does a fine job of making this bird accessible.
Dare we say the pun makes crows sound amusing — like fun fellows, even? We dare not, actually. Lest we forget, a group of crows is called a murder. Crows who stick together spit together and, according to urban legend, may plot revenge together. Come to think of it, perhaps that's why not many jokes are written about them.
Sliding Into DMs Like…
Read that wrong, did you? Everyone needs to get their minds out of the gutter for a moment. Just because this vet clinic is in Florida, suddenly it has to be a cesspool, like the rest of Florida. In fact, this hospital is only interested in actual kitties. Do you have kitties? Send pictures, please.
Any and all pictures will do. Kitties sleeping or sunbathing, good or bad kitties — everything is acceptable. For anyone who has ever wondered what a crazy cat lady’s DMs look like, this is pretty much the gist of it. It's also probably what her outgoing messages largely consist of.
