Stern Owl
A Get Well card featuring a stern owl and text ‘Get Well Very Soon’
You will have noticed the insertion of the word ‘very’. It is not a sweet and ernest hope that the patient gets well soon. Rather it is an order, or almost an order. And with a stern owl saying it, the order fits the expression. Of course, we know that it is not really intended as an order and that an order would be the wrong thing to tell someone. What we really man is that we know that it is an appeal to a shared sense of humour. Oh, if only we could wish ourselves well. Sometimes we can, when we are a bit under the weather. But when there is something medically wrong, the follow doctor’s orders.
