Atlanta Falcons wide receiver, Quintorris Lopez “Julio” Jones added to the sunken treasure in Lake Lanier when his zillion dollar earring popped out after reportedly jumping boat wakes on a jet ski in late July 2017.
Julio Jones went into the water, but came out. Â His bling went into the water and didn’t come out.
Depending on your source, the diamond earring was worth “more than $100,000.” Â The nifty nugget might have a value of $150,000, if you believe what’s in the Washington Post.
Jones was quoted as saying, “Yeah, it was worth a little bit.”
Many stories are circulating about how local divers were paid $500 to look for the sunken treasure in the not-deep-blue sea. Â By the time you get 65-feet down, Lake Lanier is murky, muddy and scary.
You’d probably be better off buying 500 lottery tickets. Â At least you would have some chance of getting a return on your investment.
We’re sorry for Julio’s loss. Â At least men everywhere can learn from his example.
When ladies hit us up for insanely expensive jewelry, we can always say,
“Baby! Â I know you’re worth it! Â And I really want to buy you a diamond [whatever], but remember what happened to Julio! Â I could never disappoint you like that, Baby. Â You mean too much to me.”
Although I wouldn’t lend Julio any expensive jewelry, he’s always to welcome to swim in my pool.
