I Would Kill For You

I overheard a girl saying that she didn't like it when guys gave her flowers. She said she thought it would be a more meaningful gesture to let the flower go on living. Well by that reasoning I should be getting a lot more respect and admiration for all the people I refrain from killing in a given day.

Really, its the fact that the flower had to die that makes a bouquet such a meaningful gift. It says "I have killed for you, and I would do so again." There's also the useful unspoken threat of "See these flowers? They thought about cheating on me too. Hopefully you can learn from their mistake."
