Our elementary teachers would pair us up during Valentines Day. Or, we’d sometimes blindly draw a name from a hat. This way, noone was without a Valentine.
Happy Valentines Day to all, and may love reign supreme for all time.
Brutus can wait a few years, until Wilberforce is a little older, to tell him the rest of the story: chocolate may help you win her, but you have to do more to keep her. Relationships built on chocolate rarely last.

I’m willing to wager that that little lady was a very young Gladys Gargle (his future wife). ;D

I thought it would be cash, Brutus. Minimum denominations of $20.00 USD.

You get the more upscale ones with alcohol….I would guess?

what happened when you ran out of chocolate?
Saddenedby Premium Member over 1 year ago
if you spread it on your lips – the chocolate that is – you might just get a french kiss. js

I’m pretty sure they’re still around, but I remember one year, the whole class giving each other those little candy hearts with messages on them…

He is a “Born winner”. Understands bribery and probably realizes that you just use cash instead of chocolate for politicians.

Wilberforce, remember you’re in that ‘cooties’ stage of like.

I wonder if Brutus ever tried to bribe Veeblefester with chocolates?

Works most every time, until they get to the age when they desire/EXPECT jewelry. When that happens, time to find a new girlfriend…..

Chocolate worked until the days when they started watching their weight.
