Diamonds from the sewer
Diamonds from the sewer
A New Jersey woman was reunited with her diamond encrusted wedding band almost a decade after accidentally flushing it down her toilet. Paula Stanton said she was cleaning her bathroom nine years ago when the gold ring, which her husband had given her to for their 20th wedding anniversary, slipped off of her finger. “It was heartbreaking,” she said. “I was embarrassed to tell my husband because it was meaningful.” “It was only in a manhole less than 400 feet away from their house when I saw something shiny sitting in the mud and debris. I realized it was a ring, and I remembered the woman who was looking for a ring,” Ted Gogol of the sanitation department said.
As the man of the house walked in from work, his wife approached with a worried look and asked, “George, I am afraid that diamond ring I bought that was a little too big on me somehow worked its way off my finger and now I can’t find it anywhere.” The husband replied, “Don’t worry dear. I found it in my pants pocket this morning at work.”
To celebrate our wedding anniversary, my wife and I always give each other small presents. However, on our 10th anniversary, I surprised her with a pair of diamond earrings. When I opened my present and she only held up the bag of gourmet popcorn she said, “I knew I should’ve gotten you the bigger size.”
Women have better best friends than men do. Because man’s best friend is a dog and a girl’s best friend is a diamond and a diamond does not make a mess on the rug.
Diamond is one of the hardest substances known to man – especially to get back.
