It turns out most holidays are stupid

I want to make this short and I want it to go away fast so my wife doesn't see it. I wrote a blog a while back called "Christmas Is Stupid." Upon further reflection, so is Valentines and probably a few other holidays.

It is obvious that some evil female executive of a major retailer that sold flowers invented Valentines Day to torture all men who have a significant other. It is bad enough that when we decide to date or marry someone that we have to remember every anniversary under the sun (by the way it is also clear that most women do not understand the word "anniversary." Anniversaries cannot be celebrated on weekly or monthly basis. They can only be celebrated yearly!!!!! This obvious fact seems to have escaped all things female.)

I must say Valentines was a brilliant invention by that female executive!! She probably deserved a raise. She understands men better then most women. Really the point for her was to sell stuff, probably chocolate, and definitely flowers. She realized that men can't remember anything related to a calendar and are prone to forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, and meaningless holidays. It was brilliant because if men remember she sells lots of chocolate and flowers. The brilliant part is if men forget this meaningless holiday she sells even more chocolate and flowers. This woman who invented Valentines probably had her husband waiting on her hand and foot after one week of marriage.

If I have any female readers left you are probably mad because I have called this a meaningless holiday. Don't be, it is meaningless because if it is the only day of the year you are loved by your spouse you don't need flowers and chocolate, you need marriage counseling.

Well, I have to go and buy my wife some chocolate and flowers. I might need to do it again next week if she reads this post, but then again she is used to me being an idiot in the are of romance after all I am a man.
