Words of Wisdom

[Our government class somehow got off on the subject of man-made v. natural diamonds. The teacher as well as many of the girls were saying how much they'd rather have and natural diamond than a man-made one in an engagement ring.]

Teacher: I see the diamond in the ring, being true, as a symbol of true love.

[Other people begin to chime in...]

Sandwich Friend: I still don't see that much difference between the two. I think my girlfriend would be just as happy with a man-made diamond. They're the same thing. They both mean, "Here, marry me." The ring means nothing.
Teacher: I don't agree with you. Most girls love diamonds, and a true diamond is a symbol.
Sandwich Friend: Well, you know what would be a symbol of true love to me? A peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, because I love peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches.
