Existential Quote Of The Year

“It’s a small line between happiness and misery”:

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but a Staten Island jeweler needed some of the city’s Strongest to be reunited with her $20,000 earrings.

Haya Sharon got her three-carat earrings back with a big hand from city sanitation workers, who helped her find the baubles in the former Fresh Kills landfill.

. . .

Sharon’s needle-in-a-trash-mound saga started on Tuesday when she put the earrings — an 11th anniversary gift from her husband — in an empty jar of cleaning solution.

A worker at Sharon’s jewelry store tossed the jar in the trash — and soon it was in the back of a garbage truck.

Sharon called the Sanitation Department the next day and officials were able to narrow down the area in the former landfill where trash from her neighborhood was about to be compacted and shipped out of state.

A few smelly and sweaty hours later, someone spotted the jar — with the jewels still inside.

“It’s a small line between happiness and misery,” Sharon said.
