From the state that brought you Honey Boo Boo.

If the diamond was bought by the father, the rifle comes in handy.

Is there anything else so heavily and randomly marked up that they can afford to have it always be 50% off and still make obscene profits? Besides furniture.

Buy a diamond for the wife,. get a new rifle for you.

Sounds like a good plan to get guys to splurge on a rock.

Makes sense to me subby.

Not a great idea if you buy the cheap diamond and the wife gets it appraised.

It's important to remember when giving a woman diamonds to make sure she gets down on her knees and slobs on your knob like corn on the cob. Got to make them earn it.

With supermarket prices what they are, he'll probably have to hunt his own food after dropping $2499 or more on a useless glittery thing the biatch won't appreciate anyway.

Yes, anal with your mom. I heard she charges by the head.

If you use the rifle to hold up the store, you can get another diamond FREE!

Yes, anal with your mom. I heard she charges by the head.

She does, but take it from me, the head is totally worth it.

Is this why Russia has nukes? 

Of course, it should be common knowledge by now that the diamond industry is a malevolent scam.

phased plasma rifle in the 40W range?

Cerebral Infarktion: phased plasma rifle in the 40W range?

Just what you see pal.

FunkOut: Here's an idea : load a shotgun full of diamonds at shoot it at....

What would be a good target?

Kardashians. Obviously.

BarkingUnicorn: It makes perfect sense. Immediately after dropping $2500 or more on a woman's diamond, a man feels he deserves something for himself.

$2,500? Isn't that a little cheap? I mean, if you're a seventeen year old dude working part-time in a movie theater, then $2,500 might be okay, but otherwise, that's on the low end. It's gotta cost at least five figures or it's not true love.

Pretty sure clothing falls in that category too. After seeing all the specials, "City Cash", customer loyalty programs and other discounts that my wife gets from NY&CO, I'm convinced that anyone who simply walks into the store and pays the tag price on any of their clothing is being taken for a ride.

I would rather date a girl who wants the gun over the rock. That's not to say the say the rock is useless, but the rifle is useful in the immediate post-apocalypse.

/I'm not that I have concerns about the apocalypse.
/Not enough to plan for it beyond a usual emergency.

Just as long as she doesn't have a turtle head popping out afterwards. Means you jarred something loose there tiger. Pump and dump.

I_Am_Weasel: Shouldn't it be a shotgun for engagement rings?

Shotguns are for the wedding ceremony (in case the groom gets cold feet).

20 years ago banks would give you a nice Weatherby rifle for depositing say $2k into a 2 year cd.

One of the more unlikely simulposts you'd expect. Awesome.

It makes perfect sense in terms of that TOS episode where Kirk makes a sort of cannon with a diamond projecticel

I just told my girlfriend about this because we were looking at engagement rings and I asked her what I get. She said that get her. I called bullshiat and told her I wanted a rifle. So we went and picked out my engagement Ruger scout rifle .308. I wish we lived there we could have saved some $$ on the rifle.

They should have used a Gatlin' gun.

Do your speelchcek?

Meh, makes sense if your customers tend to be paranoid gun nuts too. In their minds the rifle can be used to protect the valuable diamond they just bought. Sure the responsible gun owner who defends his property and life with his gun from the evil breaking-and-entering blackguard is a masturbatory fantasy about as likely as getting struck by lightning, but it's possible and it makes them feel better.

With the exception of bullshiat it looks correct to me. And that is a Fark filter. I could be wrong I have had a couple of beers.

Quantum Apostrophe: Cerebral Infarktion: phased plasma rifle in the 40W range?

Just what you see, pal.

I didn't think anyone would put that in here. But you guys did. Leaving impressed.

violentsalvation: The diamond has probably caused more bloodshed than the rifle ever will.

Yeah but the rifle makes the violence so much more convenient.

Cerebral Infarktion: One of the more unlikely simulposts you'd expect. Awesome.

And simultaneous down to the second no less.

violentsalvation: The diamond has probably caused more bloodshed than the rifle ever will.

Sad but true.

Then there's the girl I know who KNOWS that the diamond she wants is basically measured in dead children, is indistinguishable in every way but the paper trail from a lab-grown "fake" diamond, and still wants one because deep down it's not about how it looks. Ultimately it is about the perverse knowledge that people died for it, and the strange thrill of wearing an ostentatious symbol of her value as a mate on display.

Why women like shiny things.

Loaded Six String: Cerebral Infarktion: One of the more unlikely simulposts you'd expect. Awesome.

And with the damnedest of Farkers too.
