The joke plays on "red card" — in soccer, it's a penalty that ejects you from the game, but it also sounds like a birthday greeting card! The first official red and yellow card system was introduced at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico after language barriers caused confusion about referee decisions. Referee Ken Aston got the idea from traffic lights while sitting at an intersection!
