Have you seen the jewelry commercial this year, with the two Jewish people exchanging jewelry for Christmas?

What the hell gives with that?

:laughing

Do Jewish people like jewelry? I would hate to have to buy 8 diamond rings for the wife.

It's just that they even say it's a X-mas present. Jewish people dont celebrate Christmas. :laughing

I bought my wife's engagement ring in Chicago on "Jew road". Started at one end of the block, saw the ring I wanted for $2500. Went right next store, same ring for $2100. Kept doing that until I was at the last, 6th, store. Same exact ring for $1300. Then I found out they are all a bunch of brothers and cousins and work the game with everyone. It's funny, if you can stand the bullshit. They actually have the ring waiting when you walk in the door for you to look at. 1/2 carat and very clear.

You can do that with those stands in the middle of the mall.. all those Israelis selling perfume, etc... you can talk them down.. it takes a bit of hagglin' but if you can put up with it, you get a good deal, and have alot of fun doing it. Atleast I have, in the past.. :laughing

Allison's ring was originally $4500 dollars and they all insisted, "that's as low as I can go."

I loved it, but being a JEW by name only, I had a blast.

My name is Joseph Edward Wright. Parents didn't realize what my initials spelled until I was 3 or 4 months old.

haha. those stores are crazy. you'd see a walkman in there with a pricetag for like $300. then you'd say "that's way to much for that man." then they'd scratch their chins and suck their teeth and say "for you, my friend, special price. $275." then you'd walk down to j&r and buy it for like $100. this was before internet shopping, so you really had to have a catalog at home or a "nobody beats the wiz" nearby so you'd know how much shit was SUPPOSED to cost.

I think it was for Kay Jewelers if I remember right. My wife didnt understand why I thought it was so funny.
