I spent all afternoon yesterday putting in flower beds in my front yard and planting lilies . . . now I can't help but feel a little naughty . . . which is kind of nice.
Certainly a lot better than the feeling I get from considering my past as a corn detasseler. You might not be familiar with that job, but it's common in the midwest. It's basically high-school kids walking down the rows of genetic breeding cornfields, yanking the male reproductive organs off every corn plant in each row so that they won't self-pollinate (because self-pollination will make you go blind, and God can see you doing it, even at night) and will thus have to take pollen from the correct species.
I have hayfever. I consider it a cosmic injustice that plant bukkake causes me endless misery.
