What NOT to give your Valentine!.

  CRACKS
Mafia Valentine's Day Limericks!

My love for you
It came and went.
So now your feet
Are in wet cement!
I picked up this card
From a slim selection.
But that's all they offer,
In witness protection!

Stringing Us Along     

A piece of string walks into a bar. The bartender says, "You'll have to leave. We don't serve strings here."

The string walks into another bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve strings here."

The string is a little miffed now. So he tousles up his hair, ties a knot in his middle, and goes to a third bar.

The bartender says, "We don't serve string here. You are a string aren't you?"

The string says, "No, I'm a frayed knot."

Some Valentine's Day Facts

  • It is loosely based on the Roman lover's festival of Lupercalia.
  • There were actually two Saint Valentines. One was a priest in Rome, another a Bishop in Interamna. Both of the lucky fellas were beheaded. In their honor, people everywhere have since been losing their heads on Valentine's Day. (Funny, I seem to loose my head on just about any old day!)
  • The li'l nude cherub is named Cupid (Eros to you Greeks) who flies about shooting people in the heart with arrows.
  • Cupid was the Roman God of Love who stayed with his wife, the Goddess Psyche, only at night.
  • People in England celebrated the holiday beginning in 1446. They wrote their names on slips of paper and drew them from a vase for a partner.
  • In the 1700's, the custom of pinning these slips of paper to their sleeve became popular, where it was worn for several days. That this is where the expression "He wears his heart on his sleeve" comes from.
  • During the 1800's in America, the custom of exchanging cards adorned with sea shells and seaweed became popular. Thank God for Hallmark, or all of us would be buying seaweed at Sobey's!

Mike Campol says he picked up his fiance using cheesy Pick-up Line # 1! Maybe one of these lines will work for you, or not...

  1. I'm no Fred Flinstone, but I could still make your Bedrock!
  2. Is that a mirrow in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants!
  3. Beautiful night for an evening isn't it?
  4. So, do you live around here often?
  5. Is your father a thief, because I think he stole a sparkle from the sky and put it in your eyes!
  6. Would you like to have breakfast with me? Should I call you or nudge you?
  7. You must be exhausted, because you've been running through my mind all day!
  8. Hey, were you on the cover of Vogue?
  9. If I told you that you had a nice body would you hold it against me?
  10.  Screw me if I'm wrong, but isn't your name Gertrude?
