Happy Valentine's Day
One year I decided that I would play the thoughtful, romantic spouse and prepare a wonderful Valentine's Day surprise for my beloved. I was on a day off and she was working so the preparations went undetected. I prepared a delicious dinner (grilled steaks with all the trimmings, baked potato, salad etc)hand candles on the table and finished it off with a nice bottle of red wine, flowers and chocolate. Well, her expression on entering the house was priceless. During the meal she said,"This is marvellous - almost too good to be true!" As I was basking in the praise, our dog wandered into the room, gazed soulfully at us then threw up a mass of semi-digested dog food, grass and other substances right next to the table. We sat in stunned silence for a second, then collapsed in laughter. My spouse, God bless her, cleaned up the mess, the dog was banished outside and the rest of the evening was a huge success.

Hand candles?
Candles, made out of hands?

Are some kind of crazy human-trophy-hunting Nazi?

Serving a baked potato with steak?
That was your first mistake.

It's haute cuisine gone mad.

Wait. Cooking a childishly simple meal once every few years is almost 'too good to be true'?
Shittest husband ever.

I can barely move for elaborate confections and expensive gewgaws.
