This is a clever, slightly edgy Valentines Day joke about a guy in love who mixes up two shopping purchases and probably blows his chances with his sweet heart.

Having said that, I am sure there are some edgy girls out there who would have plenty of ideas for what to do with a pair of gloves on February 14th. Maybe rob a jewelry store to reverse the tables on the daylight robbers cashing in on lovey dovey day.

Half baked ideas for gloves

Moving on slightly, a brilliant site called Half Bakery has this insane but very amusing idea for using a pair of mechanical gloved hands as a fairground attraction. I survived The Boston Strangler! I liked the Columbo comment, where the ace retrospective detective has a metal collar around his neck and cuffs the criminal mid throttle.

Romantic Columbo

Columbo is famous for never revealing his wife on screen. Was he a big enough romantic to present Mrs Columbo with a Valentine's gift behind the scenes? A matching rain coat and gloves perhaps? We will never know.
