A) a famous writer.
B) an inanimate object.
Obviously, the punnier, the better.

Oh yeah, and do the world a favor and share your funny valentines in the comments section. You just might be featured in our next Featured Friday post!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Let me end by leaving you with this:
To conclude, we love you! Will you be our valentine? We'll give you pizza. :)
We'll let you sleep on it. In the meantime, happy writing!
