When I was working at a company in Concord, MA there was a guy who used to sell flowers near the Concord rotary. I'd stop every payday and get my wife a bouquet. One day a co-worker asked why I did this so I gave him one of those "wink-wink-nudge-nudge" looks and said, "Flowers aren't a gift...they're an investment!" He took the hint and got some for his wife. The following Monday he returned the "look" and said, "Man, were you ever right!" After that, the flower-guy's business almost doubled just from guys in my company.
