Valentines Day A Load Of BS

Some say that it all began when a priest defied the Roman emperor Claudius II around 270. This emperor thought that single men made better soldiers so he outlawed marriage. Valentine a priest of the time thought this edict a lot of BS so he continued to marry them in secret. He was unfortunately caught by the Romans and was later put to death. Other legends say that he fell in love with the jailers daughter and before he was executed he wrote her a letter and signed it, "from your Valentine." Do you believe that?

Anyway while he paid for it by being forced to depart the realm of mortality, men of the modern realm are having to pay for it every February the 14th. If any man currently tied to a woman, whether it be in matrimony or the guise of courtship, dare forgets to come up with some form of Valentines gift, there would be all hell to pay. There are many ways that women over the years have devised to pay men back for their forgetfulness or lack of romance and these may include the following;
# The silent treatment
# Sleeping on the couch
# Cooking ones own dinner
# Withholding sex
# Verbal abuse, and some may even go as far as physical abuse

Of course the list goes on and I am sure that there are many who would gladly at to the list.

How can they be so cruel? After all do we as men berate them if they were to forget? And let's face it, men have a whole lot of other things that occupy their minds, like remembering anniversaries and birthdays, getting the booze for the mates when they come over to watch the footy, getting up for work and remembering to pay for all the bills. Really important things, certainly more important than having to work out which store owner's pocket they have to fill and what gift they can buy to appease the insatiable desire for romance of their loved ones.

I would like to add just one little thing, and that is if I knew that I would get laid at least every Valentines Day, then I would not only support it 100% but I would also look forward to it.
