Those who know me IRL know that my mind has a tendency to go off in really weird (and usually funny) directions. Seeing commercials or ads or hearing phrases and taking them to their ridiculous end.
So, I thought I'd try posting one a day, see how it comes across and if it amuses.
ANYWAY.
Got an email today offering me engagement rings with a lifetime guarantee.
Th' hell?
Why does a ring need a a lifetime guarantee? Has there been some epidemic of rings turning into other shapes?
"We're SO sorry, sah, that your ring turned into a rhomboid. Let me get a RMA number for you"
Other jewelry?
"I swear, Mabel, I didn't know that the ring was gonna turn into a bracelet? I'm not saying you're fat! Aw c'mon babycakes..."
Maybe they're saying that you'll stay engaged forever?
(And now, cue "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf)
And what happens if someone breaks off the engagement? Does he get his money back?
And whose life are we talking about here? His? Hers? The Rings?
Heh. If Sauron had gotten that guarantee, those damn hobbits wouldn't have screwed him up so badly. Why, even now, Middle Earth could be under his dark grasp if he had just gotten that guarantee.
