My Brother The Romantic

[highlyeccentric]

What to do when you have so many women, and only one Valentines Day? Many Sydneyites seem to be suffering from this problem- or the inverse, too many men and only one Valentines Day. Valentines Day Cards are purchased in pairs, even threes and fours. At first, i noticed these women and thought 'aha, smart girl- one for you to give to him, and one for him to give to you.'
With the men, somewhat sexistly, i thought 'aha, having a little bit on the side, huh? two little bits on the side?'
I am at a loss, however, to explain the woman who yesterday bought two cards "for my Husband".

Joel has a much more novel solution to this problem. According to mum, he will be swanning into school tomorrow bearing a single red rose (possibly pinched from the bunch dad bought for mum). This rose will then be distributed, petal by petal, to his lady friends.
Having been the occaisional recipient of roses myself over the last few months, and having shredded one of them, i can tell you that a rose has a lot of petals. So, it seems, does Joel.

A) Sydenites*. Now we are even.
B) Boo! BOOOO! I say to those lucky greedy enough to hoard Valentines Day cheer in the form of multiple partnershippings.
C) Lucky sod. Wish someone'd give me a rose :(
D) I want to make snarky "depetal-ing deflowering" comments re the rose petals, but my brain is all fuzzledy at the moment.
