I think flowers are the absolute stupidest thing that human beings can spend money on in the history of spending money on stupid things.

and I've spent money on tons of stupid shit.
Speak for yourself, man. I've got all of my money invested in tulips.

Did I miss anything good? What's tiring you out today?

Flowers teach us about the fleeting and temporal quality of beauty. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it is gone quickly.

Jewelry is exponentially worse.

It set them back so far they started farting under blankets.

Oh trust me, I know. When I see guys spend 60+ plus dollars on a bouquet of roses for their girlfriends, I just know they are crying inside thinking about how they should have cherished that money before it quickly disappeared.

oh no its not. It may depreciate, but at least you can sell it later.

for flowers, you buy them, and watch them die... then its no more. like the relationship you were in with the girl you bought them for

Hopefully they cherish more the look on their girlfriend's faces, and the way a thoughtful gift has strengthened their relationship.

Sounds like you could use some pretty flowers to cheer you up.

My favorite flower is the carnation. You know how many carnations a guy can buy me for $60? Like 200. Forget roses. Carnations are where it's at.

I wish my significant other would get me flowers. But as I told him, and I felt like posting. I really don't care if you get them off of the side of the road or get fake ones from Walmart. It's the thought that counts, but he never did that in the time we were together.
