Valentine's Day Scam

Yesterday was my mother's birthday.

That 's pretty much the highlight for me during the annual scam called Valentine's Day. The grift consists of convincing millions of saps all over the world that's it's okay to ignore your significant other for 364 days out of the year and make up for it by buying flowers, candy and scented candles on this one day.

My advice -- which can't mean much, considering I am perpetually single and have broken up on Valentine's Day on two separate occasions -- is this: treat your lover with affection and gifts on any day of the year. Any day of any week of any month will do fine. And do it often.
