Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you."
- John Keats

1,000 Valentine Cards


A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing
at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with
hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent
all over them.

His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him
what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed,
'Guess who?'"

"But why?" asks the man.

"I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.



Love is Blind?

Phil, a smart and handsome young man, dressed in the latest fashion, walked into
this local pub. He noticed a woman gazing at him without blinking her big eyes.
Phil felt flattered so he walked up to the woman and said in his deepest voice,
"I'll do anything you wish, beautiful lady, for just £10 but on one condition."

The woman appeared to be trapped in the moment and asked as if in a trance,
"What's your condition?"

Phil answered, "Tell me your wish in just three words."

There was a long pause, the woman opened her purse, counted out the money
and handed it to the man along with her address. She then looked deeply into
his eyes and whispered, "Clean my house."
