Valentine’s Day dinner on a budget

I don’t think there is a more annoying artificial holiday for guys than Valentine’s Day. Every year we have to wrestle with this nonsense. Here’s my advice:

• If you are just starting to date someone, tell her you are out of town that week.
• If you are trying to break up with someone, do it before V’Day so you don’t have to spend more money on her.
• When you’ve been married many years, try to make it about the kids doing something nice for mommy.
• Desperate and cheap? Show up naked with a big bow on you.

Still don’t know what to do? Well… there’s always a White Castle near you.

“Make your Valentine’s day STEAMY! Take your Valentine to White Castle on Wednesday, February 14 between 5 and 8 p.m. and enjoy hostess seating, candlelit dining and your own server. Reservations are required.”

“Special this year, you can also treat your honey to a romantic White Castle dinner in your home! Cupid’s Crave Kits include eight cheeseburgers, one sack of fries, two regular soft drinks, coupons and keepsake items to heat up your homespun romance. Now, ain’t that sweet?”

Ahh, I think my wife would kick my butt if I tried to pull that one on her.
