Funny Valentines for People You Hate

11 Funny Valentines for People You Hate

First, a little history.

Do you know how Valentine’s Day (February 14th) began? 800 years before Valentine’s Day, the Romans celebrated a pagan festival in the middle of February which commemorated the rite of passage for young men to the god, Lupercus.

This festival included a lottery in which young unmarried men would draw the names of teenage girls from a box. Not just single women, but teenage girls. The girl assigned to each young man via the lottery would be his sexual partner for the rest of the year.

Do I have your attention?

Pope Gelasius was not comfortable with this pagan festival and instituted a small change to the lottery. Instead of the names of nubile, young women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women would be allowed to draw a name and the idea was to emulate the saint for the rest of the year. As you might expect, this dramatic change did not meet with much favor among young Roman men.

“I got a Valentine's Day card from my girl. It said, 'Take my heart! Take my arms! Take my lips!' Which is just like her. Keeping the best part for herself. - Robert Orben

You’re mean and you’re miserly,

Demeaning and demanding.

Of all my colleagues,

And all of my peers,

I like you the least.

Go pay for the beers.

I can’t stop thinking "what if?"

I just pushed you over the cliff!

More history

The Church needed a new patron saint of love to replace the pagan god, Lupercus. They chose Valentine who had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius in AD269 or AD270 depending on which historical source you choose.

Why did Valentine lose his head? Because he defied the emperor. Claudius believed married men made poor soldiers – too busy thinking about the women they left behind. But Valentine would secretly marry young men who sought his services. Claudius tried to convert Valentine to paganism but failed and had him stoned and then beheaded.

A little more history

While Valentine was in prison, he fell in love with the blind daughter of his jailer. Before his death, he sent her a farewell message signed, "From your Valentine." The phrase has been used on his day ever since. It has become a tradition for people to give the ones they admire handwritten, printed or email messages of affection containing Valentine's name.

The first true Valentine card was sent by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife in 1415. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time.

Even more funny Valentines

For a roommate

You borrow my sox and my Hanes,

My rolled oats and whole grains.

I’d ask you to leave if I had any brains.

You borrow my car and use all my gas,

Smoke all my cigs including the grass,

I ought to throw you out on your a**.

Guess the only reason I haven’t so far,

Is you pay all the rent and my tab at the bar.

For a Congressional representative

You promised us change

But the change ends up in your pocket.

Our taxes keep steadily rising

As though propelled by a rocket.

What about universal health care

In the land of the eagle?

So far the only recipients

Are those who are illegal.

And where are the jobs

You promised us, please?

All those new jobs

Are now worked overseas.

Right now you have us all by the throat.

But we will prevail – we still have a vote.

For a wife

When we wed, you would cook, you said.

You promised without hesitations.

But I have learned the only thing

You make for dinner is . . . reservations.

For a husband

You are lazy and a loafer, And as dumb as any gopher,

You would be lost and afloat, Without your trusty remote.

You accuse me of treason, Because I hate football season.

But then again, despite all your ills,

I do realize you pay all the bills.

For a boyfriend

I saw you ogling that girl, and I saw when you kissed her.

Do you know that the girl is my younger sister?

I heard from my brother that you “dissed” my mother.

And my dad, on the phone, said you asked for a loan.

You wanna be my boyfriend? Fuhgeddaboudit, mister.

For a neighbor

When we moved in, every little thing was fine.

Then you started moving the property line.

One Sunday you had a barbeque and said come on over,

The barbeque meat was tough. Now I can’t find Rover.

I gave you permission to park your RV in front in the street.

But you neglected to mention your trailer is over 30 feet.

Now I can’t park my car in front every day.

I have to park it two long blocks away.

There’s good news though I am happy to say.

My realtor said he sold my place today.

The new owner bought it lock, barrel and stock.

What is his name? You know him. He’s The Rock!
