On Saturday afternoon, I went shopping for a birthday present (Printer for Mandy if you must know). We bumped into some friends of ours and stopped to chat for a while.
They were churchy people, just so you can get the context of the conversation.
"You know so and so? Well, she hates Valentine's Day, she says it's a waste of money."
"That's not very fun"
"Yeah, I know. So I googled Valentine's Day and it came up with this website about the history of it all.
Apparently it started as a pagan ritual where they had their annual sex lottery. What would happen is that everyone's name would get put into a hat and they'd draw two names out at a time. Whoever had their names pulled out, they had to sleep with each other for the whole year.
So I told so and so about the whole sex lottery thing and now she hates Valentine's day even more."
So Happy Valentine's Day, may you 'get lucky' in the lottery of life.
