Advice and Good Advice for Valentine's Day


Valentine's Day is this Friday.  If your response to that sentence is "Oh *expletive*!" then this blog post may be just what you needed.  Here is some advice and some good advice for you to "Keep a HappyWife" on Valentine's Day.

Advice: Don’t buy your wife and girlfriend the same gift.
Good advice: If you have a wife…don’t have a girlfriend.


Advice: Tell your wife she’s the most beautiful girl you’ve seen today.
Good advice: Adding “and that includes the chicks I’ve been scoping on FarmersOnly.com” does not make that a better compliment.

Advice: Dinner and movie can be a nice Valentine’s evening.
Good advice: Dinner should not be a McRib.  Movie should not star a Schwarzenegger, a Stallone or a Van Damme.

Advice: Writing your wife a poem is a sweet and sentimental Valentine’s gesture.
Good advice: The poem should not start with the line “There once was a man from Nantucket”.

Advice: While not very creative, a heart box of candy chocolates is a delicious gift.
Good advice: You should not pick out the chocolates filled with caramel leaving only the ones filled with Texas Pete or silly putty.



Advice: A good line is “You’re pretty as a picture”.

Good advice: Don’t add “I mean almost  any picture.  Even prettier than those cartoon babes, except for maybe Jessica Rabbit”.

Advice: Tell your wife “I love you”.

Good advice: If she asks you “why?” be prepared with an answer other than just “you let me see you naked”.
