So tomorrow is February 14th – St. Valentine Day! There is so much love in the air that you can almost feel this love. Even reggie the redbird can feel it
If love was flammable then by tomorrow everything would spontaneously burst into a ‘lovely’ explosion. I am sure some of us would testify that love is indeed flammable and playing with love is like playing with fire. But this post is not about the chemical characteristics of love, instead it is about the telegram.
Yes! telegram. Gone are the days when telegram was the fastest means of communication. My family received our last telegram in 1988. The humble telegram was gradually replaced by telephones and in today’s day and age by cell phones, SMS, Email etc. So what does a telegram have to do with Valentine’s Day celebration?
Well nothing! yes you could send your love a telegram message except that, first you would have to find a place to send a telegram! But don’t worry some creative and enterprising companies have been given telegrams an extreme makeover.
Now you can send your love a flowergram, a candygram, a baloongram and a beargram. And if this is not enough you can also do a pajamagram. So much for Samuel Morse and his patented invention – the electric telegraph.
I think I need a classified ad more than these ‘grams’. I need to put an ad in our local newspaper – Pantagraph that says:
Situation Vacant. Lady Valentine wanted!
Have a great St Valentine’s day!
Wow – that was a little too much information about the telegram, but still fascinating to read!
Have a great V-day. (Or as my sister would say – Single Awareness Day)
