coffee no. 42

Sometimes I wonder why do the 99,9 per cent of men think that the only real flowers are roses. The red ones, obviously. Maybe in their opinion roses are the most beautiful, the most elegant, the most romantic... Maybe they associate these flowers with love.
I have never seen a man going for a date with a lily, lilac or a tiny bouquet of forget-me-nots.
On the other side, I know the women who would feel offended if somebody brought them a bunch of narcissuss, jonquils or carnations...
