Makes Me Think - Today, I was in line at the store behind a man holding a dozen roses. When he got up to the cashier's counter, he realized that the cashier looked sad. The man smiled and said, "I'm buying 11 of these roses for my wife." And then he handed the cashier the 12th rose. She smiled from ear to ear. MMT

It's people like that man that keep me from losing all faith in humanity.

Seems sweet, until you learn that when he got home his wife counted the roses and asked: "Where is the twelfth rose?" He tried to explain that he gave it to the cashier. She imagined the cashier being 10 years younger than her and got jealous and the couple spent the rest of the night fighting.

Personperson makes a good point. But it's still a very sweet thing to do.
