Roman Ring

[poliphilo]

I used to own a Roman ring. It was too small to fit on any of my fingers, so I wore it on a thong round my neck.

Yes Roman. Really and truly Roman. Or so the seller said.

Last week the thong came untied and I lost the ring.

So I went on eBay and  bid for another.

There are an awful  lot of Roman rings for sale on eBay. I guess they're genuine. I figure they sell too cheaply for anyone to bother faking them. But where do they all come from?

The Romans must have been a really careless set of people.

Roman matron: (walking down country lane) "Drat, my ring just slipped off my finger into the ditch.  That's the third in as many weeks."

Roman patriarch: (cheerily) "Never mind dear. Plenty more where that came from."

Of course it is entirely possible that they....

have been robbed out of graves.....

(pause for delicious shudder.)

Anyway, I just learned that I won my auction. A bronze ring with a blue stone in it  is coming my way.

`winning` at the supermarket.

yes i like this.

perhaps they should install some swinging axes too that u have to dodge between like in Dr. Who ep 2 (that i saw last nite) or even some wild LOST-ish monster that u never see but that rattles the baked beans on the shelf as u pass.

pits also. for jumping, NO WAIT- for swinging over! and they give you a whip at the door so you can be like INDY JONES YES!!!!

this rocks. fantastic idea.

replacing tins of tuna with a bag of sand u found in the parking lot, so the poison darts don`t get you, or the bigt rolling ball or even THE BOULDER they have ALREADY in ASDA!

*pumps fist*

*goes YEAH!*
