Fun Valentine Stories
February Fun Facts
“Nuts About Love”
“Driving through Southern California, I stopped at a roadside
stand that sold fruit, vegetables and crafts. As I went to pay, I
noticed the young woman behind the counter was painting a
sign. ‘Why the new sign?’ I asked. ‘My boyfriend didn’t approve
of the old one,’ she said. When I glanced at what hung above
the counter, I understood. It declared: ‘Local Honey Dates
Nuts’.” 

“Making the Grade”

“My high-school English teacher was well known for being a fair,
but hard, grader. One day I received a B minus on a theme
paper. In hopes of bettering my grade and in the spirit of the
valentine season, I sent her an extravagant heart-shaped box
of chocolates with the pre-printed inscription: ‘BE MINE.’ The
following day, I received in return a valentine from the teacher. It
read: ‘Thank you, but it’s still BE MINE-US’.”

“More Than a Greeting Card”
“My friend Mark and I work in a lawn-mower-parts warehouse.
Somehow Mark got the idea that his wife did not want a card on
Valentine’s Day, but when he spoke to her on the phone he
discovered she was expecting one. Not having time to buy a
card on his way home, Mark was in a quandary. Then he looked
at the lawn-mower trade magazines scattered around the
office – and got an idea. Using scissors and glue, he created a
card with pictures of mowers, next to which he wrote: ‘I lawn for
you mower and mower each day.’ Mark’s wife loved it. The card
immediately graced their refrigerator door.”
