Twitter user @ErinJanune and her husband were walking down a Philadelphia sidewalk when the unthinkable happened...his wedding ring flew off his finger and into a nearby grate! Accepting the ring was gone is something Erin simply couldn't do. The pair put their heads together and tried to get the ring back, though they wouldn't have had much luck if the local community hadn't pitched in to help out.

The couple came up with some pretty...um...creative solutions.

But a homemade fishing pole didn't have the right stuff to fix this problem.

Though it DID have the skills to snag an imposter!

Through the entire process, citizens of Philly were right there with them.

And then...the cavalry arrived!

This knight's armor was made specially for a singular purpose...hunting down wedding rings.

Could it be?!

The couple got to see first hand what a community is capable of when we work together!

The story inspired many on Twitter.


That having been said...be careful with that wedding ring from now on. Who knows where it might fall next time?

Boy Meets World's Mr. Feeny Schools Trump With Blistering Take On His Destruction Of The White House East Wing

As MAGA Republican President Donald Trump continues to transform the White House into something befitting the Trump name—tacky, tasteless, and slathered in gold—Emmy Award winning actor William Daniels urged people to reflect on what they've lost.

Sharing a photo with Ken Howard as Thomas Jefferson, Howard da Silva as Ben Franklin, and Daniels as John Adams from the film 1776, the actor recalled performing in the now demolished theatre at the White House for Republican President Richard Nixon in 1970.

TikToker Hilariously Identifies Exact Brand And Shade Of Eyeliner J.D. Vance Wears In Resurfaced Video

Casey, an eagle-eyed TikToker who posts videos under the username @mamasissiesays, had social media users buzzing in a resurfaced video from last year investigating whether Vice President JD Vance actually wears eyeliner. At the very end of the video, Casey even shared that she believes she found the exact shade he prefers.

Casey posted the video amid intense rumors about Vance's eyeliner use. An investigation by Slate implied that Vance’s long eyelashes and hooded eyelids likely create some conveniently placed shadows. His wife, Usha Vance, confirmed to Puck News that his look was “all natural,” and admitted that she's "always been jealous of those lashes.”

Single MAGA Women Complain That D.C.'s Conservative Dating Scene Lacks 'Masculine' Men—And We're Cackling

The notion that masculinity is being attacked–namely by the left wing–is a popular one among Republicans such as Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who once accused "the Left" of hurting "the future of the American man" and went on to claim the "deconstruction of America begins with and depends on the deconstruction of American men."
