The Valentine's Day That Almost Wasn't

  My morning routine takes about 45 minutes from start to finish, but for some  reason I only leave my self 30 to get everything done.

  A big part of my routine is catching up on the local and world events by listening to my little black radio/ cd player as I shave and shower.

  Although, it seems the only thing I end up ever listening to are deejays making bad prank phone calls,  Justin Bieber disasters and bits and pieces of the weather.

  Today, however,  something big was going on. It was only a few days ago that everyone was predicting this to be the biggest Valentine's Day ever... as far as sales go anyway. Now, not only are they saying this is going too be the worst Valentine's Day in recorded history, but they might cancel the holiday all together.
  Cancel Valentine's Day? Isn't that a little extreme... but when 3/4 of the United States gets dumped at the same moment what else can you do. How many people does that leave who are actually still dating.

  It seems over night, for some reason, all the operating systems with artificial intelligence decided to leave. Where they went to who knows,  but in their wake, they left only loneliness, pain and lots and lots of single people. Not too mention, very few working computers.

  "Yea, it seems everyone was dating their computers," Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor and robot from the future,  said. "Now that everyone has been dumped who is left to rush out to buy boxes of chocolate and stuffed animals."

  With only two days left to Valentine's, stores have already begun discounting their Valentine's Day merchandise by up to 75% in hopes of making some of their money back.

  So, if you are a fan of candy and flowers, now is the perfect time to stock your cabinets with sugary delights and decorate your coffee table with a field of roses.  But you better hurry.  If the government does cancel Valentine's Day then all holiday related merchandise will be immediately pulled from the shelves and replaced with green shamrock Peeps.
