and - pray tell- where does one find a $2 watch battery? I've never paid less than $10. And one was quite dead and the Nice Young Man was sure my watch had finally given up. It could not possibly have been his battery.

stats *FUNNY DIAMOND STATISTICS**Every December 26th, approximately 15% of men sleep on the couch because they did not buy their wives jewelry.* *Danger! On average, 87 diamond wholesalers pop themselves in the eye with a diamond flying from a tweezers.* *Bench jewelers average 8 minutes a day looking for their magnifier visor, rarely remembering it's on their head.* *Jewelers feel they waste an estimated 60 hours a week attempting to pry water-proof backs off watches just to change a $2 battery. ****Jewelers lose an average of 12 minutes per week fishing in the ultra sonic cleaner for lost jewelry.* *Every jeweler has witnessed at least one man faint, throw up, or run out of the store at the sight of an engagement ring.* *Once a day, at least one skeptic tests the hardness of a diamond by slamming it in a drawer or running over the gem with their car.* *Hasn't at least one jeweler thought, "this marriage is doomed" as they rang up the couple's engagement rings?* *Every 6 minutes a new bride shows off her engagement ring excitedly to her single girl friend who secretly thinks, "Mine is going to be SO much bigger!"* *Tragically, 1 out of every 25 ear piercings done by jewelers is too low, resulting in forever saggy ear lobes.* *Every 15 minutes a jeweler reflects, "Wait a minute! I am selling a shiny rock for $5000"!*
