Sir, There is a Diamond in My Dessert


Linda has been craving a really good piece of carrot cake. She had lunch with some friends Sunday and the restaurant had carrot cake for $2.95. She decided to save her money and not order it. She could have splurged if you ask me. At least it wasn't the $14,500 chocolate, fruit, mango and pomegranate dessert served in Sri Lanka. You get to keep the 80K aquamarine plate it is served on though. Or if you have an extra $1.4 million, you can order a special dessert in New Orleans. The plate of strawberries is topped with cream in mint. Underneath your berries you'll find a 4.7-carat pink diamond. What's the waiter's tip on $1.4 million?
