Ring Around The Ocean
Ring around the ocean,
Ring around the ocean,
Damnit, Damnit,
My ring is gone.
So a few crazy things happened yesterday......
1. Stew and I went to the ocean yesterday to relax. Things were going great until we went swimming. What happened next is this: I dove once into the ocean, came back up like a dolphin does, and dove again. On the second dive I stretched my arms out and while doing so my wedding ring went flying off of my finger into the depths of the Bay of Bengal. Although I searchesd for it, no luck was to be had by me. Ellyn took the news very well.
2. The man at the local Western Union branch approached me with a photocopy of a $100,000 US bill and the "certificate of authenticity" that came with it. He wanted to know if the bill was "authentic". Me, being the US Currency expert, did some research for him and found out that the bill was indeed fake. The $100,000 bill was made at only one point in history, is no longer in circulation, and it has specific markings such as a picture of Woodrow Wilson and a gold stamp. The bill I was shown had no gold stamp, it had a picture of the Statue of Liberty, and its certificate was from the "International Association of Billionaires". Apparently, an american donated this bill to a charity in Pondicherry and the head of the charity took it to someone else who took it to the Western Union guy who took it to me. I hope the american who gave "the gift" goes to jail. What an idiot.
3. Stew and I went on a clothes shopping spree. Dress pants costed $8, dress shirts were $6, and shoes were $13. Besides the clothes, I had to buy a new suitcase because I have picked up too many things here. That being said, can ANYONE drive me from New York to Syracuse or Rochester on August 10th or 11th? PLEASE! I cannot afford to pay the "esxtra weight charge" on an airline and there is no way I could take the luggage onto a train on my own.
4. In India, you cannot find brown dress shoes larger than size 10. Stew perused at least 10 stores and none of them could help them. Numerous people also told him that the 11-13 category is a special category and you can't really get brown shoes in that category. Good business opportunity here......brown shoes over size 10.
Toodles.
