(I work on a tour boat in New York. Some friends are on my tour. My partner of 6 years asked me to marry him yesterday, so I am excitedly showing my friends my breathtaking new engagement ring. An elderly lady has been glaring at us while I talk to them.)
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, can I get anything for you?”
Lady: “Did you say you’re getting married?!”
Me: “Yes, ma’am! I’m so excited!”
Lady: “You’re too young to get married!”
(Suddenly, the lady grabs my hand and rips my ring off my finger. Before anyone can do anything, she flings my ring overboard. I am in total shock while my friend screams at the lady.)
My Friend: “She’s 28!”
Lady: *suddenly all smiles* “Oh! That’s alright then. I’ll have a Coke. Thank you, dear!”
(I now have a new ring, but I never wear it to work.)
