You Have a Telegram

According to the people who know-- that is the Greeting Card Association-- about one billion valentine cards are sent world wide. Has anyone counted the email greeting cards?

According to other pundits 1.1 billion boxed Valentine's Day chocolates will be sold in the U.S. What about loose chocolates? A truffle or turtle attached to a card.

According to Statistic Brain, 196 million roses will be "produced" for Valentine's Day.

34% of people celebrate by dining out. Does that include fast food restaurants or only tony establishments?

I didn't find any statistics for Valentine Day balloons. And you can still get a Singing Telegram in Boston. Of course it's updated and doesn't actually involve a telegram.

But if you want to send a real telegram there's one place that states that they are the only " telegraph company legally operating in the United States."

They " physically hand deliver the telegram" to the intended party. However, if you wish you can have a phoned in telegram which is read to the recipient or a singing telegram.

Perhaps next year I'll send my Valentine a singing telegram-- or I could record my message and send it via email, but why not try for the retro feel to Valentin's Day.
