I Hate Steven Singer

Well it took 8 hours to go from Highlands, NJ on the Jersey shore to New Scranton, PA, which is near the eastern border of Pennsylvania, just south of Pittsburgh. About a quarter of this time was spent sitting in traffic and inching our way through Philadelphia. As I sat in traffic talking to my mother-in-law, I looked up to see a billboard with the following message:

I thought “Man, that’s harsh.” What could this guy have done that was so bad that someone would spend the money for a billboard proclaiming their dislike for him. Well, I just Googled “i hate steven singer” and came up with the link http://www.stevensingerjewelers.com. Apparently it is a local Philly jeweler and here is their explanation of the unusual slogan.

The Original "I Hate Steven Singer" Customer

20 years ago a gentleman purchased a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from Steven Singer Jewelers to propose to his girlfriend. She loved it, and said "Yes, I'll marry you!" However, she would have to wait two decades and have two grown children before he would surprise her again with a beautiful diamond ring to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. She was so excited by the ring, she gave her husband more than a thank you. Exactly nine months later the couple came to the store to tell Steven about their new baby. The wife proclaimed, "I love Steven Singer!" The man responded, "Here we go again. We're up all night with feedings and diaper changes. I HATE STEVEN SINGER!"

So why do men HATE Steven Singer?
Because women LOVE him...and his diamonds.

What else is there to say on that one. Good Night.
