"(Debbie) Squiccimarri was visiting the (Mount St. Mary's University) campus on a frigid weekend when she blew her nose and lost the ring. 'I heard it go in. As soon as I moved to the bowl, it flushed -- and they're so loud, those flushes, it was like a freaky feeling when it went,' she said. 'I just screamed, Oh, my God! My ring!' She made a tearful call to her fiance, Frank Eufemia, 46, a former professional baseball player who teaches at the same high school. 'Is your arm caught in the toilet?' he asked her. 'Because if it's not, stop crying.' Later, he even joked: 'Well, that was a short engagement.'" - Columnist Fredrick Kunkle in the Washington Post (03/28/2006)
