The $10,000 Martini
The famed Algonquin hotel, where the Round Table once gathered is now offering a $10,000 martini. The martini comes
with a loose diamond at the bottom. No spontaneous drunken ordering allowed—the martini requires 72 hours' notice
including a meeting with a jeweler to choose the stone. The martini has been on the menu for a week and no one has
ordered one yet. This leads to a very interesting etiquette question: when ordering a martini with a diamond at the
bottom, does one let it rest there until the drink is finished, or fish it out first to prevent overenthusiastic
swallowing?

What an interesting way to propose. You can set the stone later.

Personally, and this is not jealousy but common sense talking, but if anyone is foolish enough to purchase this drink, then they should be wise enough to put some more money to a charity! But I very much doubt they will...
