A COMIC'S VIEW: I once fell in love with someone who only knew four vowels . . . They didn't know I existed
Happy Valentine’s Day to each and every one of you. Seeing how, oftentimes love is accompanied by laughter, I think it only fitting to offer up some Valentine’s humour on the day of love, for all of the lovers, in love, in The Bahamas.
DIANE PHILLIPS: What's love got to do with it anyway?
