We all know that February is the month of love. According to the internet (which means it must be true), six million couples are likely to get engaged on February 14. Of course for a man, the only thing scarier than proposing, is picking out the engagement ring!
That reminds me of a great joke. A balding, white-haired man walked into a jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful, much younger gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special." At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000" the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it." When the jeweler asked how payment would be made, the man replied, “By check. I know you need to make sure the check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds. I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon." On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said, "Sir, there's no money in that account!" "Oh, I know that," the man replied calmly, "but let me tell you about my weekend!"
Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year. Maybe I should go see Kent at Joseph Jewelers on Friday evening!
