Save My Ass

Has it really come to this? This web-site is a "personal assistant that keeps your girlfriend or wife happy by sending her flowers on your behalf, on a regular but semi-random basis". This includes birthday's, holidays, anniversaries, as well as "Just Because" deliveries spread through-out the year.

The site claims that most women are not/would not be upset if they knew that their beloved was using the service. They are happy just by "knowing you care and spend money on them regularly, and being the star among their friends and coworkers." Now I've heard this rumor before, that that's why women love to get flowers but didn't want to believe it. Silly me, I thought it was because they were pretty and smelled nice and brightened their day. Like women do for us guys.

Anyway, the best thing about this "service" is the PANIC button. If you are "in trouble" with your woman, you can have a "Special" delivery made. There is even a "degree of trouble" slider which will select the bouquet best corresponding to how badly you messed up.

I will admit, I'm not very good at the whole getting flowers thing. In fact I may be the worst in the history of man-kind. Well at least among those who landed a sweet-ass, sexy, hot mama, like me. I tend to want to give things that last. I'd sooner give an orchid or and oak tree, than a dozen red-roses. But I guess sometimes its not about what I want to give, its about what the ladies want to get. And often they want it hard and faaasst, but then other times they want to go slow and smell the roses. And I am after all, a gentleman, so I must oblige.

So, ladies and gents, should I sign up? Is it offensive or just practical enough? It is supposedly used by many CEO's of top corporations, so it must be good enough for the worlds least famous running blogger, right?
