Thanks for all of your Valentine emails!!
Ahem…a Valentine’s Day Poem (by Lee Ann)
Roses are red
Valentine’s day sucks,
A day to waste sentiments,
And spend lots of bucks…
For those who are single,
It’s a kick in the butt,
Ok I don’t have a Valentine,
Yeah, so what?
I’ve tried Lavalife,
It just didn’t work,
Met a couple of doozies,
One a complete jerk…
It doesn’t mean I’ve given up
or that I’m acting tough,
It just means I haven’t found one
that’s quite good enough!
Is Cupid watching over me?
I don’t really know!
The wee cherub took aim,
And shot his trusty arrow,
It flew through the air,
But my heart it did pass,
It skipped right on by,
And shot me straight in the ass….
Hey that’s funny,
It’s kind of clever,
Happy Valentine’s Day?
Yeah, Whatever! 
Happy Valentine’s Day Sam! No sad or bad stories, sorry!

I met my wife at our company Xmas party in a bar we routinely took over, run by an ex-employee of the Corp. We hit it off right away, like love at first sight, and 2 dates later we both knew we were the one.
Long strory short; the followinbg Valentines day, yes 2 months later, we were in my basement apartment making some serious whoopie, and we were getting quite loud in the room.
For some reason, after we had round 1, we both thought out loud, Do you want to get married?
We both looked at each other, and agreed then and there, and then proceeded to go at it again, even more passionatly and loudly than before.
Within seconds of our racket starting, upstairs, someone decided to stomp on the floor really hard for a few minits, and yelled out KNOCK IT OFF!
We stoped for a sec, laffed like loons, and went back at it just for spite, making even more unnatural sounds.
We’ve been married for 13 years this summer, and still get silly over this one, but may not tell the 3 boys of ours about it till we hit 60, a long way off from now. Yes, I’m taken; sorry!!
I don’t know why we need a special day to tell people why we love them. It’s truly one of the most commercially created holidays, just like Mother’s day. I bet the chocolate manufacturers and card manufacturers created Valentine’s day to make extra money. As if they’re not making enough, right?
February 15 can’t come soon enough, I tell ya. That’s when I typically start looking for chick. From November to February 15, unless I have a chick, this time of the year is off limits for looking for one since they’ll get all gushy around Christmas and then again on Valentine’s Day. You can call me cheap, but I’m sure a lot of guys would agree with me.
To be honest, I can’t remember the last time i actually had a girlfriend on valentines day, I always seem to be single this time of year. On purpose?, can’t say for sure, but I haven’t had the headaches associated with “VD” day in a while,(god that sounds so rude but funny).So to all you single people out there, enjoy this stress-free day(& be sure to laugh at all the guys buying flowers at the local gas station)
hey sam, ive always been very good at valentines but last year was a bomb. i was very busy with work, didnt even realise it was valentines day till i was at work. on the way home my friend told me he hadnt bought anything for his wife so he was going to the dollar store on the way home. i ended up going with him to purchase the best romantic card i could find for a dollar. when we got in there , the pickings were slim. he found one straight away so i was rushed. i picked the reddest card with the most hearts on it. we wrote our little mushy loving words on the card and sealed them. i got home appologised to my wife and gave her the card. she opened it and threw the card at me. i should of read it as the verse inside ended with happy birthday darling. no action for me that year sam…. mike
Hi Sam,
You are right, Valentine’s is a sad day for many of us with no partner so I try to make it a little fun.
I gave my son a soap on a rope and a little cushion heart that said “You’re Special” for Valentine’s.
We have a wonderful man at work who looks after us all so well and has been tired of the on-going snowfall.-We love to tease him.
I brought the left over box and gift bag to work and filled it with snow.
I had someone signed the card to him and another take it to the office to have him called to pick up his surprise.-we thought he’d never get there and it would melt but he finally arrived and opened it.-he laughed his head off and is still wondering who gave it to him.
If you can’t have flowers at least you can have a LAUGH!
p.s.- I brought him a soap too but he may say I have to clean up my act.
I received sooooo many sad stories…..I’m glad the 15th is almost here for many of you…..I hope it turns out to be a great day:) Use the word ‘thanks’ for some extra Jack Nation points. It will be active until 9am tomorrow.
Have a great night!!
Sam
