Worst
Valentine's Day Gifts
By Jennifer Klein, President

Hey
honey, I love you. Here's a Nordic Trak. Happy Valentine's
Day.
When
it comes to romancing their partner, it's clear that
cupid's arrows certainly can miss their mark. There
are a lot of unromantic people, losers in the love category,
who believe exercise equipment or housewares make appropriate
Valentine's Day gifts.
In
a recent survey on Dateable.com, we posed the question:
What is the least romantic gift you've received on Valentine's
Day? Here are the top three winners (or losers):
TOP
THREE WINNERS
- Gold
Heart: Roses, with a card for another woman!
- Silver
Heart: A Nordic Trac. This person states, "I am not
sure if the message was your fat or not, but let's
just say I was not thrilled."
- Bronze
Heart: A book on making love. "Sounds good but it
sure can make a gal insecure," says an anonymous voter.
RUNNER-UPS
Most
of the runner-ups were household appliances and tools.
What is this fascination for appliances? Ironically,
a recent study revealed that the number of clean homes
are declining due to women in the workforce. Although
these gifts are practical, they are, nonetheless, unromantic.
Runner-ups include the following:
- A
vacuum
- A
blender
- Cleaning
supplies
- A
Black & Decker screwdriver
- A
power steering hose
- A
toaster
- A
broom
MOST
HUMOROUS CATEGORY
- I
was asked the question: "So how do we end this? A
handshake or a high five?"
- Divorce
Court. (You'd think the judge would schedule other
types of cases for that day, right?)
- A
pear. Yes! A damn pear! I wanted a pear shaped diamond.
But, I got.. an actual pear!!
