I think they should declare February 13th National “Oh crap” Day because every year it’s the day that so many guys in the country realize what tomorrow is and how unprepared for it they are.
It’s funny to see the second this realization finally comes to them and they yell out, “Oh crap! Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day!”
Sometimes (especially if they are really slow), they might say it in the form of a question because they either are still not sure or they are that clueless. “Oh crap, tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day?”
I’ve heard that at least 70% of guys wait until the “Oh crap” day to think and do something about Valentine’s day. That’s probably because on that day the notice goes from advertisements that they ignore to front and center in the headlines.
I remember the first year I met my wife and told her my honest opinion of Valentine’s Day. That’s the last time I’ve uttered such crazy, outrageous opinions.
This year, just for laughs I informed her that my camera club has a meeting scheduled that night. As if it was a sin against humanity, she simply (and sternly) said, “Nobody has a meeting on Valentine’s Day!”
“Yes I do,” I disagreed. “It’s the second Thursday of the month. That’s when our meetings are.”
She immediately went to the calendar where I write my schedule and saw that it said “camera club meeting” on that night. She simply picked up a pen and crossed it out. As she was stepping out of the room, she added, “There…now that you don’t have a meeting you’re taking me out to dinner.”
That’s all the time I have to write tonight. I have to run and buy some candy and a card so I’ll leave you with a few words of wisdom for Valentine’s Day:
Do not stop trying until you find somebody to love.Once you find somebody to love, learn to live with that pain.
