The eve of the Roman feast of Lupercalia.
Naked youths would run through Rome, anointed with the blood of
sacrificed dogs and goats, waving thongs cut from the goats.
If a young woman was struck by the thong, fertility was assured.
Pope Gelasius 1st decided this was all a bit too much, and co-opted the
Roman holiday to be the Feast of St. Valentine in 484 A.D.
A wise decision I feel.

I woke up this morning and said to the wife, "Hey honey, it's Valentine's day, let's fuck!"
She rolls over and says, "Ok, FUCK OFF!"
That's what 30 years of marriage will do to you...
47 years of marriage, and that hasn't happened to me. Ever. It's all about how you treat and respect your partner.

The modern concept of cards and flowers was invented by Hallmark cards as a marketing stunt to sell more of their product. Prior to that, Valentine's was virtually unknown.

Bunch of sad bastards. Just buy your missus some flowers from the servo ffs.
Seven Eleven have some really cheap bunches in their back storeroom think they are trying to keep it on the low.
Look a bit withered but it’s the thought that counts lol

You could also try to woo her with something on the ukulele. Seems to work...

You know that’s someone’s daughter geez what’s the world coming to.
That someone’s daughters car still requires fuel SD. Despite repeated attempts I haven’t found a money tree or Tim Tam packet that magically refills itself :-).

A token Hallmark holiday.. You should Appreciate your marriage everyday ..Your spouse is the gift..appreciate them..and each other..and the shared life you have.. Had the opportunity to get married once..never took it..regret it every day of my life… Definitely a sliding door Moment..ended up living a life that Was best avoided..
