A Rose For Mom! Folks this one is sweet!

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived 200 miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.

He asked what was wrong and she replied.

" I wanted to buy my a red rose for my mom , but I only have 75 Cents , and the rose costs $2."

The man smiled and said, "Come on it with me ,and I'll buy you a Red Rose" He bought the little girl her red rose and ordered his mother's flowers.

As they were leaving the floral shop he offered the girl a ride home. She said,Yes please! You can take me to my mother.

She directed him to a cemetery where she placed the single red rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop , cancelled the wire order, picked up a bouquet of red roses and drove the 200 miles to his mother's house!

Not as a public figure. What’s your guiltiest-pleasure TV show? Don’t say Game of Thrones, because that’s a good show.
Probably the guiltiest pleasure—and this is kind of lame—is Big Break. You know, on the Golf Channel? Which is kind of a silly show. [laughs] But I find it really relaxing.

“Probably the guiltiest pleasure—and this is kind of lame—is Big Break. You know, on the Golf Channel? Which is kind of a silly show. [laughs] But I find it really relaxing.”

So you watch it on the treadmill or something?
Yeah, when I’m working out sometimes late at night. I never see all the episodes, but if they’ve got some chipping contest or something… [laughs] It’s pretty lame. I do love Game of Thrones.

Which character do you identify with?
My favorite character is probably…the dwarf, what’s his name?

Oh, yeah. Peter Dinklage’s character.
The problem with Game of Thrones, though, is that I don’t remember the names of any of the characters.

I don’t, either.
I remember the characters, so when I watch it, I know exactly what’s going on. But if you read a review of the show afterwards and they’re mentioning such and such, the only one I remember is Jon Snow, because I can pronounce Jon Snow.

Which Game of Thrones character is Donald Trump?
Uh…I don’t think…I don’t think any of them rise to that level.
