The idea behind the Tampa Women's Club charity event was simple. For $20, you could buy a flute of champagne and a chance to win a one-carat, $5,000 diamond.

Organizers of the Saturday event placed $10 cubic zirconia stones in the bottom of 399 of the 400 champagne glasses. The prized diamond, donated by Continental Wholesale Diamonds, was placed in the last.

The problem? Eighty-year-old Miriam Tucker accidentally swallowed it.

Tucker told local news media that she didn't want to put her finger in the champagne, so she drank a bit. While laughing with women at the table, she realized she swallowed it.

Embarrassed, she had to tell jewelers who were frantically searching for the winner.

Already scheduled for a colonoscopy on Monday, she had a doctor recover the jewel.

I wonder if he found that lost TV remote while he was at it?

 

Talk about a diamond in the rough!!

Rough way to get one!!

 

Well think about the guy who has to use the strainer and you'll know who has it rough....

 

That ended up being a "Crappy" diamond .

 

Not sure how the thing stayed in there. My last oscopy, the MoviPrep med that I took made my colon squeaky clean..

 

You know this world has lost it's mind when they schedule a 10,000 dollar procedure to recover a 5800 dollar diamond.

Ex-Lax is 3.98 at Wal-Mart..........

 

A box of Ex-Lax and a window screen over the toilet.
