I stopped at a florist shop after work to pick
up roses for my wife. As the clerk was putting
the finishing touches on the bouquet, a young
man burst through the door, breathlessly
requesting a dozen red roses.

"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just
ordered our last bunch." The desperate customer
turned to me and begged, "May I please have
those roses?"

"What happened?" I asked. "Did you forget your
wedding anniversary?"

"It's even worse than that," he confided.
"I crashed my wife's hard drive!"
