Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Jennifer: Perhaps you could tell us, for instance, what one might be spending if one wereto invest in gold?
Dawn: Right, well, for about fifteen pounds you can get a fine thin chain bracelet. For twenty five pounds you can get a necklace and perhaps your initials in some of that curly swirly writing. But I feel duty bound to warn you that if you are looking for something such as a chunky identity bracelet, you may find yourself paying upwards of fifty pounds.
Jennifer: Well! A word to the wise, there!
