Conversation at the jewelry counter about earrings

Posted on December 22, 2008 by Les Jones

MELISSA: Do you like these?
ME: They’re … um …
MELISSA: I thought you liked long earrings.
ME: I do. It’s just … those are too … chunky.
MELISSA: Okay. How about these?
ME: I like those. They’re dangley.
MELISSA TO LADY AT COUNTER: Do you have any earrings in topaz to match this ring?
LADY AT COUNTER: I love topaz.
MELISSA: Me, too.
LADY AT COUNTER: It’s my birthstone. Here you go.
MELISSA: (puts earrings in ears) What do you think about these?
ME: They look like fish hooks with a topaz at the end.
MELISSA TO LADY AT COUNTER: I’ll take the dangley ones.
ME: Okay.

    So then, fishhook with a little chunk of topaz worm or fishhook with a big goober of topaz stink bait?

    Spray it with WD-40. That’s what really brings the fish in.
