Holiday hit for St Valentine's Day




What an absolutely splendiferous Valentine’s Day it is today and even more so because you and I have this chance to chat over a good cup of coffee. 

Here’s an interesting tidbit you may not be aware of… A tiny heart-shaped island in the Adriatic Sea has become a holiday hit for St Valentine's Day after being discovered on Google Earth. Even the uninhabited island's owner didn't realize how perfectly heart-shaped the island off the Croatian coast was until he was swamped with requests from lovers to stay there. 

'It has been incredible. We think it is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world,' said Vlado Juresko, whose family owns the 130,000 square yard islet of Galesnjak, hastily renamed "Lovers' Island". 'Nobody lives there so if lovers really do want to spend time alone it's the perfect desert island. We always thought it looked a bit like a heart but since it's been on Google Earth everyone else has seen it too and the whole world seems to want to stay here.' 

Sounds like a great place to open a Tim Hortons…maybe even a Heart Attack Burger Restaurant. 

Q: Who sends a thousand valentine's cards signed, 'guess who'?
A: A divorce lawyer.
