And I always wondered where those darwin car emblems came from.
And then there is this. A dear Abby article in the paper today. It cracked me up. Not that this guy should worry about what somebody else is wearing, but if he doesn't want to wear a ring then don't.
-------------------
DEAR ABBY: I despise wearing rings, which is a problem because I plan to become engaged. I'm OK with a plain wedding band, but baubles on appendages interfere with useful work and creativity, and they turn me off.
I have an expensive heirloom ring I would gladly give to my lady if she'd keep it in the safe deposit box where it belongs. I don't want to insure it, deal with it if she loses it, or know I caused her to be injured if a thug tried to steal it. If I give it to her, she'll want to wear it. She doesn't need an ornament to prove she's special or loved.
What can I use in lieu of an engagement ring? I'd rather give her an annuity or something useful. The thought of a $10,000 ring on a hand that belongs to a productive and intelligent working woman suggests self-indulgent exhibitionism.
I know I'm fighting an uphill battle, but my feelings are valid to me. I feel the same when I see rings in the workplace and socially. Why not just duct-tape a $1,000 bill to your forehead if you want to call attention to yourself? Any ideas? -- PRACTICAL IN DENVER
-------------------
I'm not even going to bother with DA's reply. I dislike jewelry to the max. Not that I care if other people wear it but it drives me nuts to have a ring or a watch or anything hanging on me. I really like the taping money to your forehead idea.

id just duck tape a lot of coins all over my body. it'll also be good work out since it's heavy and all.
I wonder how much a thousand dollars worth of coins would weigh? The exercise might not be so good because you might be stuck in the same spot all day.
