Really? Women ask but men are the ones paying for it. So, I believe you meant men are stupid for buying them in the first place. In some cases the girl does not even ask for it, men assume it's what we want.
I agree expensive jewelry is a waste. I would rather spend the money on a trip, or something fun. I never understood why other girls want expensive jewelry. However, they don't understand why I don't.
Wonder what kind if any EPA regulations you need to go through. Unless everything was received dry or drained prior to "storage" it could be a nightmare.
