New Business Idea

Track/Stream: Portishead - Strangers

My 15 seconds of thoughtfulness 2 days ago continues to pay off as Lynda's cow-orkers get more and more jealous that she gets flowers and they don't. In the interest of satisfying thousands of women out there, and because I'm philanthropic (and not at all interested in the moo-lah), I have come up with a brand new business. Here's how it works.

Step 1 - You sign up on the website providing your beau's name, work address, days and hours of work, your relationship (in case they aren't actually your beau), and your credit card number

Step 2 - ???

Step 3 - Profit

I'm not 100% sure on Step 2 yet, but one of the other gnomes tells me it's that we ship flowers every couple months (completely randomized so it's not predictable) appropriate to the type of relationship along with a card with some sweet phrase on it. Maybe it emails you a week before it sends them so you have time to alter things if you want. Maybe it slaps a cute little cartoon on the card. Maybe it also slaps on a $10 "convenience fee".

The idea is that you look incredibly sweet and thoughtful, but it takes no memory on your part whatsoever. It just happens. You look good, she gets to make all the cows at her office jealous, and you get some.

Because when it all comes down to it....

you just want some.
