Searching for My Honey Bee Quote - No, Compliment - of the Month

My hallmate, Bejon, age 27, from Bangladesh, and getting his PhD in genetics, wrote the following to me in an e-mail today.

"Oh En Marry, I forgot to say that you looked very pretty this morning. I think you need a handsome Japanese boy friend for time pass. Because, flower has no value if honey bee does not know this."

How flattering - and charming. Thank you Bejon. And thank you for giving me permission to publish your classy advice in my blog... I'll get right to work on finding my honey bee!
