are included in the Barking Cards 96 CD-ROM, below are 
descriptions of all the cards on the CD-ROM.    The cards
range the scale from cute and politically correct to very 
wacky. 


Birthday

coin at the well, but it bounces harmlessly in the grass.

grab the coin. Finally he reaches into his pocket for his 
foolproof credit card, tosses it in the well and a flaming 
birthday cake pops out.

Reginald is happily pumping up a sign that reads "Happy 
Birthday".  A mischievous cat appears and sticks the pump 
cord into the his trousers instead.  Reginald continues to

blown out of proportion!

birthday wish.

examination discarding wacky equipment such as a hatchet and pliers. 
This scene ends  with the dentist feverishly drilling while the boy 
squirms in pain and the punchline is revealed "you could be having 
a birthday AND a root canal".  Finally the  scene changes and "Happy 
Birthday" has been carved in the boys teeth
