Some guys try to be smooth on Valentine's Day, giving their lovely lady a gift of lingerie or jewelry over dinner in a blatant attempt to get lucky. I prefer to let the dinner speak for itself. I just hope my wife enjoys the entree of blowfish and clams in white sauce I ordered for her

is that the blowfish that has to be prepared perfectly or else it might kill you and the chef has to commit suicide if it does??

http://www.japanfortheuninvited.com/articles/fugu.html

Nearly 100 people a year die of fugu poisoning, mostly ambitious amateur chefs who try to prepare the treat at home. The most famous casualty was beloved kabuki actor (and officially designated “national treasure”) Mitsugoro Bando VIII

Since 1958, chefs need a license to prepare fugu. This is a tedious task requiring great skill and precision. According to custom, a chef whose customer dies from his fugu is honour-bound to commit seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment).

:eek:
