Engagement ring gets crushed

Erik reports: “While playing the Wii Sports bowling game, my wife swung her arm back. Hard. Unfortunately, behind her was our kitchen table. Fortunately, she didn’t break anything (bruised and pained, yes, but not broken)…but her engagement ring has seen better days. It’s being Wiipaired now.”

This small, blurry cameraphone photo shows Emily’s engagement ring, after it got caught between the Wiimote and the kitchen table. Erik, her husband was there to witness another enthusiastic bowler lose themselves in the game and forget they were in the kitchen. (Wii in the kitchen? Why not!)

So, what damage to the ring?
“The sapphire in the middle chipped and the ring totally bent into an oval”
Wow, that must have made it difficult to take off…
“It was VERY difficult”
That sounds like a costly clash - what is your ‘Wiipair’ bill looking like?
“It’s estimated to be only 21 dollars. We’ll see when we get it back”

Phew! What could have ranked up there with the TV repair bills of the rich and sweaty turns out to be fairly modest this time round. You got away lightly there Emily. (But these puns are getting Wiily Wiily bad!).
