Did you hear about the young man who bought an expensive engagement ring for his girlfriend and put it inside a balloon?
He intended to pop the question and have her pop the balloon.
He took her outside, but in his nervousness he let go of the balloon and, filled with helium, it escaped his grasp into the air.
I think it was said to be valued in the many thousands. I can't recall if it was $12,000 or $20,000. It may as well have been a million. Can you imagine it?
As someone once said, 'Such are the plans of mice and men.' Or something like that.
