A man stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up roses for
his wife. As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on his
bouquet, another man burst through the door, breathlessly
requesting a dozen red roses. "I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This
man just ordered our last bunch."

The desperate customer turned to the other man and begged, "May I
please have those roses?"

"What happened?" the first man asked. "Did you forget your
wedding anniversary?"

"It's even worse than that," the second man confided. "I crashed
my wife's hard drive."
