I drove by a florist's on my way to work.

Looked like they were preparing for the Normandy invasion. Cars EVERYWHERE, delivery vans EVERYWHERE, even a neighboring parking lot fenced off, men running around in little florist suits grasping bunches of tulips with a grim look on their face. Hup two three! Let's get those flowers out the door, folks!

I confess, I laughed my ass off.

1. See, that's the spirit...

No point in hating this holiday when you can have much more fun laughing at everyone trying to out-Valentine each other.

2. I used to be a florist.

Valentine's Day. Ugh. We used to have to pull an all nighter just to get everything ready.

One particular V Day, the fire marshall decided to pull an inspection on us...right in the middle of the frenzy. Jerk.

In the case of flowers and Valentine's day..it is much better to receive than to give.
