Ethel and Earl
Ethel and Earl were in a jewelry store, in the
mall, getting a new diamond ring for Ethel for
their 40th wedding anniversary.
The clerk was trying to sell them a two
thousand dollar ring and Earl was very
resistant to the idea. Prior to the clerk getting
involved, Ethel and Earl had already decided
on, what Earl thought, was a very nice diamond.
Although, it was much smaller and cheaper.
After a few minutes Ethel said to Earl, “When
we got married, we were so young and penni-
less and my eyes were so much better all those
years ago. This time, honey, I really want a
diamond I can see well.”
Earl said, “I have a great idea. We’ll buy the
small diamond and then run right down to the
eyewear store and get you
some brand new glasses
and save us over $800 dollars.”
