Top Five Romantic Moments

(Don't worry, these won't be icky and grose you out. I hope.)

In honor of Valentine's Day, over the next could weeks I'll be posting five of the most Cupid-worthy moments in history—or at least our history.

DRENCHED IN SWEAT...
(Remember the humidity?)
HOLDING THOSE FLOWERS...
THAT HE'D RAN WITH FOR OVER A MILE.
(He'd gotten a lot of funny looks from people passing by.)

So cute, right?

If he hadn't have been stinky, I would've smoothed him.
