What's better than roses on a piano? Turnips on your organ.
That's actually a good question, how the fuck did they find out? Who reported and investigated this? WHERE DID IT COME FROM??
Really though, despite that mystery, I'll sure as Hell take this over "Serial baby anal shredder takes 8457th victim, plows through orphanage with a mail truck, gets 5 minutes in jail, runs for congress and wins" type of upsetting news that seems to get plastered everywhere all the time.
Amusing light-hearted news is good.
If you want a practical reason, the original story came from WEHT, a local television studio serving the area in which the events occurred. It's a bit of coverage that fits in with WEHT's focus on local news, but I have no idea why The Straits Times chose to (re)report it.
Otherwise, enjoy it and move on when you're ready. it's sweet and funny and gives you a reason to smile. It'll be forgotten by tomorrow, but it's nice for today.
Way better than some useless flowers imo
What a thoughtful husband; by next Sunday their value will hopefully increase and she'll make a sizeable fortune off the stalk market.
