Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 27, 2024

Zirconia!

Time to leave.

She’s not worth it, mister.

Better gets away from greedy goldigger Goldilocks pal.

It could have been worse. She could have called it “cute”

RUN AWAY!!!!

Yeah. My wife. What I bought wasn’t expensive enough. I should have ran away.

The engagement ring I bought, used and was accepted (thankfully) cost me 2-months salary … more than 50 years ago.

No, sweetheart…More like, waving acquaintance….

Cut. It’s a wrap.

I was happy to read that the younger generations aren’t falling for that diamond hoax these days as more and more birthstone wedding rings and personal preferences are becoming the norm. I avoided it accidentally when I presented my wife with my grandmother’s emerald engagement ring. She showed it off to everyone whether she knew them or not. If anyone ever breaks the grip of the diamond cartel, we will see just how plentiful and cheap diamonds really are.

Ooh ouch! Nothing cuts like a refused diamond.

Nope. It’s actually the kind of diamond that gets a refund for a new Ranger Bass Boat.

Yep.

They must be Irish because it’s a sham rock.

Run guy, run for the hills.

Whip out the magnifying glass!

it was cheap just like you, still worth more than you

Went with round instead of radiant cut.

He and diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

yeah – that kind…

A material girl…

Ah, the “friend diamond”. Yes. Present her with the lump of coal.

uh oh…not gonna end as expected!

Hubby to be took me to pick out my own ring. I found one I liked with a flaw in the stone. The clerk was astounded. I said it had to have a flaw because I’m a flawed individual, like everyone else. Hubby to be piped in that he had his flaws too.

Excellent commentary today …!

( Dave struck a diamond mine, and yours )

…more than of any friend.

With benefits

Yep. Zirconium.

Did he get that out of a cereal box?
