VALENTINE'S LEAST
ROMANTIC 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!!
