Give me a Ring

I found an expensive looking ring in the ladies at work. I couldn't believe my luck! Well that was my initial thoughts as I tried it on, held my hand up to the light, looked inside - don't ask me what I was looking for. I kept the ring on, left the ladies and went straight down to reception. I took off the ring and explained to the lady at reception that I found the ring, where and what time and said I would send an email to everyone on my floor and let them know that something was lost, who now has possession of it and if they can describe it, it will then be handed over.

When I got into the lift to go back to my floor, I looked at my reflection in the surrounding mirror and gave myself a "what the hell just happened" look. Everything that happened seemed to have taken place on autopilot. My egocentric self had every intention of keeping the ring, yet still my compassionate side wasn't having any of it. Thank God I'm ruled by compassion and not ego.

My sister-in-law lost her diamond eternity ring about three weeks ago on a Hen night under the same circumstances and she's never seen her ring since the day she put it down next to the sink in a ladies loo to wash her hands.

May I suggest ladies that you put your ring in your mouth, yes... I said in your mouth or between your teeth while you're washing your hands so that your nearest and dearest won't have to hear your jibber-jabber because you had an absence of mind!
