The ocean is really big and that diamond is really tiny. Plus the ocean currents would have carried it away by the time they’d scramble a team to look for it.

Yeah. I was a College Republican my freshmen year (1983), but went on to become progressive AF. I would also not wish an early death on anyone, for any reason (part of being progressive AF).

You could win with $1, right?

The funds aren’t FOR the family, they’re going to be used to create scholarships.
