bet you didn't know that. but it's true. at least, that's what a local florist told me when i tried to order a bouquet for the first lady of steveohville.
the bouquet would have to travel about thirty yards, from the storefront on one side of the street to the other, where her office resides.
hence, $17.
that's the standard fare for valentine's day, they told me.
it would go across the street, i said.
distance doesn't matter, they replied.
so i'd be paying about sixty cents per yard, or about $1.33 per step.
they had no answer. or a sale.
so, the lesson learned is to stay indoors. nothing good could come out of leaving. seriously. you'd be screwed if you did.
