I didn't know there was a secret handshake

Gasp at the secrets of the mysterious club of married men on Valentine's Day

At the office

Him: So are you doing anything with your wife tonight?
Me: We're going to the ballet on Friday.
Him: Do you think I should I take my wife out for a meal tonight?
Me: Shouldn't you have thought of this already?

On the train:

Another him: So are you doing anything with your wife tonight?
Me: We're going to the ballet on Friday.
Another him: We're going out for a meal tonight. I let my wife book it. I just turn up. Saves hassle.
Me: Lovely.

Just say lovely things to her...

Things she'll never hear from another man. Things like:

--Why don't we get a map? and
--Omigod! I love your hair!

This is why you're The Good One.

Random kid at school: Miss, what did your boyfriend get you for Valentine's?
Me: Nothing.
RKAS: Nothing?
Me: Well, I didn't get him anything either.
RKAS: (eyes wide) But that's not very romantic, is it?

I would just like to state for the record that my husband, simonf, the poster of the above, all on his own, after being told not to, *still* bought me chocolates yesterday. He kept insisting it was for both of us, but we know he really did it for me. :)

Perhaps you could teach a class.
