Diplomatic take on Goh Mei Valentine

SO Cupid and the God of Fortune got into a diplomatic spat over the latter's plan to rename Feb 14 "Goh Mei Valentine".

"As in 'gourmet' Valentine, since Chap Goh Mei is all about feasting, geddit?" gushed the God of Fortune as he flicked his beard in excitement. "But don't worry, we'll keep the Valentine so you don't, you know, feel irrelevant."

Cupid's fingers tightened around his bow, but he refrained from shooting him for fear they would become an item in the Health Promotion Board's FAQs on the sexuality of festival icons.
