...you must not do much physical work to not seem to understand that a wife or husband would rather have a whole spouse than one whom is a survivor of an industrial accident.

Good lord....spin your paranoia somewhere else, would ya? You're welcome to live a bubble-wrapped existence if it makes you feel safe.

I've been in the construction trades for over 30 years, and have worn my wedding band for well over half that time. I'm not taking it off because (shudders!) something might get caught on it. People with low alertness levels sometimes have accidents. I don't.

So you have been a fortunate son...

Couple stories.....

Years ago I was working in a NICU...sitting in a rocking chair next to me was a nurse. I had this bad habit of flipping my ring in my fingers..and I dropped it...and it rolled perfectly right under the rocking chair and flattened it. HA!! The nurse was mortified...I was cracking up laughing....as to what were the odds of that happening???

A few years ago....I was coming down some tree steps after hanging a deer stand. The steps had some serrated points on them....I was near the bottom..and jumped off, only to hang my ring on one of those babies. Cut the heck out of my finger...and about tore the ring in two.

My ring's been through the "ringer"!! ROFLOL!!

Kudos for combining extreme stupidity with an equally extreme level of arrogance into a single post. There should be an award for that. It's like riding. There are only two kinds of bikers: Those who have gone down, and those who will.
