In case you didn’t know, Glenn Beck and his wife, Tania, were set to start their anniversary celebration on Thursday. But after an unforeseen incident, those plans temporarily went down the drain — literally.
Thursday evening, Beck tweeted via his official Twitter account: “Just leaving for my anniversary and my wife tells me she ‘accidentally’ flushed her wedding ring down the toilet.”
He also noted how his “insurance guy may cry” when he finds out that the couple’s wedding ring is now floating somewhere in the Dallas-area sewage system.
Beck’s tweets from tonight really tell the whole story:
Just leaving for my anniversary and my wife tells me she “accidentally” flushed her wedding ring down the toilet.

Currently digging up the ground and cutting pipes. Any advice?

Hope we have honest workers at the sewage treatment plant…

My insurance guy may cry.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:29pmBelieving Mrs. Beck didn’t flush the ring is about as believable as saying the President is a socialist whose objective is to destroy America.
Keys will believe anything.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:41pmIronic that some people are called “paulbots” because they believe in ideas and principles….But if you feel like you are part of Glenn’s inner circle of friends, you are called a patriot (aka conservative).
Glenn, why do you give away such valuable information free of charge? Why would we buy the cow when you give away milk for free?

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:47pmI don’t blame Mrs. Beck for flushing the ring. Being expected to socialize with Pat Gray is spousal abuse.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 9:13pmThat happens all the time. A women sits on the toilet and her wedding ring just slips off of her finger without her noticing. Straight into the toilet. Wedding rings naturally slip off fingers all the time because they’re usually too large. That’s a fact. They make them to large on purpose.
All too often where true love is concerned, they slip off into to the toilet when someone sits down. If you go through the motions you’ll realize how commonplace this is, or could be, or might be.
You don’t notice your ring as slipped off into the toilet, and before you realize is, you’ve flushed that treasured thing. Happens all the time.

I don’t believe she did it on purpose, and I believe the president is a Marxist.
@SENDINTHEMETEORS
I detect a hint of sarcasm ;)
@HELLBOUND
The ring is symbol each to the other…the ‘Mormon’ God is the God of the Bible; the Father of Jesus, the ruler of the universe, our Heavenly Father, the same one Jesus prayed to…that God.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 10:42pmThe President isn’t a Socialist because he is more inclined to believe that business and people shoud be controlled by heavy regulation. His philosophy is more precisely Fascism than Socialism. It is really just a stepping stone to Socialism and eventual Communism according to Lenin.

Actually it does happen quite often, google it. Women’s fingers change over the years. Their fingers also change during the month depending on their cycle. Some more than others. My wife’s slid off her finger after she had lost some weight. And you wonder about the motions, well some women wipe with their left hands and most women wipe their lady parts before they stand up. So, if the ring slides off, then it would wind up in the bowl, usually mixed up in the toilet paper. So you should hold off on the sarcasm until you check the facts first. Unless your whole intent was a half way witty retort meant to impress people.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:29pmThe water you see in a toilet is the trap…In the basement or crawl space there may another trap that might have stopped the ring from going into the city sewer. From an old home inspector.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:25pmThe trap is there for gas and if the toilet was a Kohler or similar the ring is long past the toilet trap. The commercial you see where the guy is flushing everything under the sun down to get the female plumber over is not far from the truth on what those things can flush.

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:10pmGlenn!! Jiminy Crickets, you’re such a dork!
There’s a “U” shaped pipe under the sink’s drain pipe (in the cabinet). That’s the Trap. Your ring is in there. There are two rings – one holds it to the main drain pipe and the other end is connected to the sink end. Disconnect and carefully remove the trap and get your ring – then ask the Mrs. how much she’ll pay to get it back…WHeeeeeee!!!!

Jan. 17, 2013 at 7:17pmThe ring (assuming Glenn didn’t go on the cheap) weighs enough that it is doubtful to have arrived into the city sewer system yet. It is most likely sitting not to far from the first bend. NO MORE WATER DOWN ANY DRAINS!!!
