Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day. It is also another good day for business to rip money off people. For some reason, flower, chocolate, and dinner is a must for married/dating people. And they are also stupidly expensive during this time of the year. My brother and I always had this big business plan when we were a kid. Back in Hong Kong, dating couple usually like to stroll along the Victoria habour at night. That is like a dating activity. And on Valentine's Day, some people will carry basket of roses to sell. They will approach the couple and ask the guy to buy a rose. The guy usually wouldn't dare to say no in front of his girlfriend even though the rose is insanely expensive. And you can't really say no when a kid is selling too. So my brother and I figure it is like a sure win business plan. All we need to start is that basket of roses. We can make like $100 per rose. We will make enough money to last a year. And then come back next year for more. Of course this never happen because our parents think we were just two stupid kids. :( Happy Valentine's Day! :)
