A fellow was very much in
love with a
beautiful girl. One day she told him that the next day was
her
birthday. He told her he would send her a bouquet of roses… one for
each
year of her life.
That evening he called the local florist and
ordered twenty-one roses
with instructions that they be delivered
first thing the next morning.
As the florist was preparing the
order, he decided that since the young
man was such a good customer,
he would put an extra dozen roses in the
bouquet.
The fellow
never did find out what made the young girl so angry with
him.
