This man grasped the Tao of Teddy Bears.

This being Valentine's Day (celebrate by dying in prison while writing letters to you True Love!) I've seen dozens of road-side entrepreneurs selling flowers, bears, candy, etc., out of the backs of pick-ups and off folding tables.

But this guy in Modesto wins. He had a display that held maybe forty teddy bears. Above them, a sign read.

WE HAVE NO VALENTINES!!! PLZ HELP!!!

A few bears were on a table, one holding an honest-to-Halford cardboard sign reading "Will Hug 4 Hugz"

I nearly crashed the truck from the cute. Alas, he didn't take credit cards. I swear there were cars parked for a quarter mile down the road.
