Flowers...

mdm

A friend sent this to me and I thought I would share.

While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Frank and his
wife,
Cathy, were told by the moderator that "it is essential that husbands
and
wives know the things that are important to each other."
He addressed the men, "Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?"
Frank leaned over, touched Cathy's arm gently and whispered,
"Pillsbury
All-purpose, isn't it honey?"
And thus began Frank's life of celibacy.......

I assume this is the same couple that was involved in the "air bag" story.

It's possible. x;-)

I don't get it. Did the husband say something wrong? Was it not all-purpose? x:-/

As if there was any doubt...comments like that re-assure us as to why you are single.

That was funny Beagle. Actually, one of the first Christmas presents my now hubby gave me was wooden spoons and baking trays. Any other woman would have scoffed at the gift, but it truly came from the heart. He knows how much I love baking cookies, it was what I was doing when we first met.

Several years ago I was dating a woman around Christmas time and was driving her home after a night out. Told her (very smugly and proudly, I might add) that I just picked up her Christmas gift that morning. I was so pleased with myself since I generally wait until Christmas Eve to do my shopping. Without missing a beat she looked me square in the eye and said, "It better not have an electrical cord attached to it or resemble an appliance of any kind."

I took the espresso machine back the next day.

I was history by Easter. x:o

She was not worthy of you Beagle. The least she could have done was accept it graciously, then taken it back for an exhange. x;-)

Reminds me of the time I bought my wife a dozen red roses for our anniverasary. First question she asked was how much did they cost. Then she complained that I probably spent way too much on them. Haven't done that since. It's Pillsbury for her, or nothing!

Parabeagle & Ray-

Personally nothing wrong with the his version of flower. At least he knows what she bakes with.

Hasn't your wife learned not to question flowers? x:-/ I'm happy to accept any flowers my fiance brings me.

The problem was knowing roses are out of season in April and therefore more expensive. My wife hates to spend money, I spend it like crazy. We are perfect together. But, we have always had rose bushes, I'm up to 30 this year, so we have roses all summer long.

The problem numb nu*s, is she's allergic to plastic!

Duh!!! Now you tell me. Where were you 10 years ago when I screwed up?

Ray, considering all the time, effort, fertilization, pruning, etc., etc., that goes into rose bushes, are they now really all that much cheaper by the dozen x;-)?
