Trying To Top

my second wife's first husband discovered a new species of butterfly and named it after her at this time i'm standing here holding a dozen roses thinking i'll never be able to beat that romantically

Starter husbands don't count. Everybody's got one. I wouldn't be too concerned. Have a great day my friend.

Jeff i beg your pardon if i am wrong Thinking in terms of eponym, It's very difficult to know the degree of romanticism. in this competition, by the way what was the name named by him? salute alkas

No romanticism Alkas. Just a true fact. It was a Scotish butterfly, and her name is Annie. Thanks Alkas.
