Yes first, yeah I know Im lame but still, and my god,
A businessman boarded a plane to find, sitting next to him, an elegant woman wearing the largest, most stunning diamond ring he had ever seen. He asked her about it. "This is the Catto diamond," she said. "It is beautiful, but there is a terrible curse that goes with it." "What's the curse?" the man asked. "Mr. Catto." |

I think Pink Floyd's 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' works here too:
"Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond."

You know how fabulous diamonds have a proper name, like: The Hope Diamond? This one will probably be called The Holy Fucking Shit Diamond.

All I can think of is Daffy Duck shoving Bugs Bunny off of it while saying, "Back, back, back! Mine, mine mine!!!"
