    I almost got it! You could have had it for Christmas.

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    Well, Elvis was always incredibly giving, but even I wonder what caused him to toss this one into the audience?
    Yes, I know he was not at all "Material" but still.
    You know how people fight over baseballs, we Elvis fans must be pretty great people. I don't recall any fighting at all? I've seen a few people taken away from fainting after he kissed them..LOL but only one time was there a scuffle over a beautiful pale blue scarve, Elvis ended that quickly with tossing about 6 out at once. Smart Man!
    But then, I have a diamond ring. Or so I thought I did... compared to this ring, mine looks like I got it in a cracker jack box!
