Here you go, guys. She wants a ring. You want a new gun. Buy her the ring. Get the gun. Everyone lives happily ever after...

From this story in USA Today:

A Georgia jewelry store owner has come up with a new way to sell diamonds, WSB-TV reports. Give away free guns with each purchase. "A lot of our customers are hunters, and it just seemed like a great thing to do," Mike Geller, who owns two D. Geller and Son Jewelers, told the station. "It's unbelievable! There's websites that got a million hits about it." Customers who purchase diamonds worth $2,499 or more from the Cobb County stores get free hunting rifles.

According to the story, Geller got the idea after seeing a similar promotion at a Missouri car dealership. It's a novel idea, of course, but state pride demands that I inform Mr. Geller the buy a diamond, get a gun idea has already been done (where else?) in the great, gun-crazy state of Oklahoma.

Up until this moment it hadn't occurred to me that the wife needs new earings.
Sure it'll cost and extra $1500 to get a new rifle.. but isn't her silence about it priceless?

I want a new gun, so I buy my ol' lady diamonds to get one without any fuss? This would set a very dangerous precedent.
