My friend John called asking for help. His girlfriend was offended, and he didn't even know why. Just tell her she's right and buy some flowers, I said. Sam did so. But instead of flowers, he brought her a flowerpot. So they don't fade, he explained to her. Now they haven't spoken in three days, and I'm avoiding his calls. The advice was good, I just needed to clarify the details.
