I came into work on Friday morning to find a nice box of candy Valentine hearts on my desk, most likely a gift from my manager. The purple ones are my favorite, they taste like grape. The inscriptions, however, are rather blunt and unusual. A lime heart demands, "WRITE ME," while a pink one -- presumably cherry- or pepto-bismol-flavored -- suggests, "LETS READ." A rather insidious orange heart insists on "MY WAY." It would be neat if they made one with the inscription "HIGH WAY." Then you could be like, "Here, honey, choose one."
