Two questions come to mind:
-How does one lose that down a toilet?
                      -And-
-How does one afford such a ring?

Presumably while wiping one's arse. ;)

Anyone who walks around with $78G's on their finger. . .well, I gotta say it, deserves to lose it if they aren't smart enough to be careful.

Hmm, wonder what the plumber charged for the recovery?  Attorneys get like 30%, so why not?


"The Mr. Rooter bill came to $5,200 and the city's bill was $1,000."

The stupidity of this really makes you wonder.

You can almost with certainty bet the woman is a young bimbo in her 20's and the husband is in his 80's - 90's and an oil rich tycoon.

They had an article a few years ago about a woman like that. She was young in her mid to late 20's. She married a filthy rich oil tycoon that was a WWII veteran. He was a fighter pilot that was horribly disfigured in a fire. But his MILLONS had nothing to do with her being madly in love with a 80 year old disfigured man. Nah, not a bit.... ::)

I ment that when something goes down the pipes you almost never get a chance to get it back.

Oh..... :)

I'm amazed a rock like that flushed to begin with. She must have took a hell of a dump to provide enough weight to move that rock.....lmao
