Default Taking a pot shot at plant presents

Good idea, Joe. I like it.

I give orchids that are in flower and tell the person that I will take
it back when it has bloomed out and return it when it blooms again.
Some take me up on the promise, some want to keep it. I win either way.

After that long dissertation, you end with this? G

The article is funny. I know people like that. Got to agree with Al,
however. Our Society sometimes gives non-orchid speakers Phals as gifts
when
cash is not appropriate. The reactions vary, from our County Sherrif
(male),
who loved it, to a State Representative (female) who shrank from it with
"Oh, no, that's too much responsibility!"

Interesting.
