I sounds like the relationship between your H and his partner was going south for a while, and the cards were perhaps just the final straw. If there has been tension and/or a power struggle going on, this sounds like just part of that struggle, and probably really not about the holiday cards per se.

I have a pretty drole sense of humor, and I have bought an assortment of generic/bland holiday greetings and some funny shoebox cards, but we have only used the shoebox cards for personal friends who we were pertty sure appreciated the humor (and none had bodily functions in them - they were more play on words form TV shows, or a police officer interrogating a snowman with a hairdryer, etc). I have to agree that in the professional arena, the generic holiday cards are probably safer. Also, in our office, our secretary looks through the catalogs of holiday cards and selects a few choices for my associate and I to review, and then we pick them together. Avoids any such problems. Granted, ours are going out to referral sources and associates, not to employees, but still, if both of our names are going on them, we both approve the card selected in advance. Maybe food for thought for the future…
