Our building laid out a lovely candy spread in the lobby this morning for Valentine's Day. On the table, along with lots of candies of many sorts, was a pink paper with Valentine's Day "facts." One of the facts was:
"73% of Valentine Day flowers are bought by men, whereas women buy only 23% of Valentine flowers."
Let's do the math
Lets assume for our calculations that the "flowers" are roses. According to one website, 110 million roses will be bought for Valentine's Day.
73% + 23% = 96%
73% = men
23% = women
4% = ? (!)
4% of 110,000,000 roses = 440,000 roses
That gives us 36,666 dozen roses bought by people other than men and/or other than women.
Rounding up for flowers given on Valentine's Day which are not roses and rounding down for the showoffs who give more than one dozen roses to their amour, let's just say that 36,666 people who are neither men nor women are giving flowers to their significant other.
That seems like an awful lot of he/shes to me, even for The United States of America. Does anyone have RuPaul's phone number, because I have some questions?
