WEDDING RINGS TOSSED INTO THE TRASH, FOUND

In Clarkson Valley, Missouri, Carla Squitieri left her wedding rings by the kitchen sink on Sunday afternoon. Her husband was doing what he was supposed to do – cleaning up the sink. Next thing you know, the rings are gone, and it’s Monday morning and the trash has been picked up. The Squitieris realized the rings – one of them a 12.5 carat diamond – were probably in the garbage. The rings were insured, but they had sentimental value. They called the trash company, who managed to catch the truck before it went into the landfill. The trash was diverted to a transfer station, and the Squitieris, along with some of the trash men, started searching through the trash of 900 customers. Joe Evans of Meridian Waste ended up finding the rings. Meridian workers said they’d do this for anybody.
* But they DID have their hands subtly stretched out for a tip.
* They should have also looked for that retainer I lost back in 10th grade.
* The rings have sentimental value – just not as much as they used to.
* See? Even when a husband does something right it’s wrong.
* Maybe this was his roundabout way of getting out of the “cleaning up the sink” job.
* “Whoops! We don’t want that to happen again, honey! I’m going to switch to dusting the piano.”
* How’s that for a bad Monday morning? “Before you get started, we need you to go through 900 customers’ garbage and find some rings.”
* This is why some people get wedding tattoos instead.
* I’m sure it’ll make for a funny family story in another 10 or 20 years.
* I used to have Squitieris between my toes, but my doctor gave me a cream.
