In the warped, twisted world of the Lockhorns, this is about as close as one of them gets to a genuinely thoughtful gesture. Even though Leroy's ultimate goal is to purchase something that will disappoint Loretta, the fact that he is even in a jewelry store contemplating the purchase of something of actual tangible value can be considered as close as it gets to a grand romantic gesture. However, based on Leroy's lack of earning power and his legendary frugality, Leroy may be better served by the kind of jeweler that keeps his inventory in the lining of his jacket rather than a fancy four walled store. I eagerly await Loretta's sad reaction when she gets her "gift". Leroy gets the point.

Official Count:
Leroy - 41
Loretta - 54
Push - 54
