I prefer the old branding of the forehead method.

Due to weight gain, I had to get my titanium wedding ring cut off when my marriage broke up. I went to my local health care provider, and the equipment was easily found. I don’t think this is true for titanium.

Well, it was either this joke or lift something out of Tolkein; this is my favorite!

Why are they misogynists? I mean, amanicdroid did not even refer to woman specifically, and sex workers can be any gender (or none).

Oh, lolz, but just on the off chance that you don’t actually know any sex workers personally, or especially discount ones with *no teeth and no dentures*, then in that case you’re a misogynist asshat. I mean, *would be* a misogynist asshat, were your comments not just sincere musings on things in your daily life.

wouldn’t a lojack be more secure?

I’m single, so no. If someone wants a fling and seem willing and compatible, why not? If it is a poor idea, it is their own mess to work out. If I was in a monogamous relationship, I would graciously turn down the offer.
More importantly, if a woman ever came to me looking for marriage and demanded I wear that ring, I would very happily turn down that offer too. Why the bloody fuck would you make a monogamous commitment to someone who you trust so little that you want to stamp MARRIED on them. Seriously, that is completely insane. You need some epic neurotic mental damage or some seriously bad judgement to think that that ring is a good idea. You also need a solid serving of stupid and desperation to agree to wear said ring.

Any two people fucked up enough to agree to use that ring deserve each other. Hell, it is a service that these people self tattoo themselves. It will help warn people off that they are dealing with some seriously damaged goods and that they need to stay away.

We live in a time where there is so much polarization between us we can hardly have a civil discussion without one or both parties getting confrontational or defensive.
That was certainly not my intention. Maybe we both erred on the side of projection. For what it’s worth, it seems some people got what I was trying to say.

It would be cool if you could get whatever engraved inside. Passwords, SS numbers, Blood type. Things that might actually be useful…

I think that would just tear the skin up on your finger.

A good engraver could make the ring say MARRIED but the impression say HARRIED.

A forehead tattoo is the only solution.

Sort of a step down from the facial tattoos, I would imagine.

I almost want one of these… only I want to have the word FINGER or RING instead

I should have been more specific and said most emergency rooms, instead of hospitals. Oh well, I’m glad I spurned on a cool conversation about properties of nifty metals.

Or just a quick tap with a hammer would probably do the job.

If my finger was swelling or something and I needed a carbide ring off in a hurry, I’d risk smashing my finger some to bust it off.

Could we get rings that say “MARRIED, BUT SHE/HE LETS ME FUCK WHOEVER I WANT”?

OR “MARRIED AND DOWN FOR MFF THREESOMES”?

Sorry if you read it as an aggressive response. I read yours as somewhat sexist.

Neither my wife nor I wear rings.

We’ve decided on pockets watches. Engravable, memorable and more practical.

If these get common, some enterprising soul will sell finger stamps with “un” on them in the same font.

It would likely be more a result of how many ounces of alcohol you currently have in your system…

If you think you need to buy this ring, you should reconsider getting married to the person you want to give it to.

Actually now that I think about it, etching “Bitter” on my finger might send just the right message. Wrong finger though.

How about “swinger” too?

I HAVE turned down offers from attractive married women.

Because there were always far too many fish in the sea, to risk getting dragged into the unhappy ones’ personal drama.

Won’t change who you’re marrying. If that person wants to cheat, especially if they’re the type to think ahead while on a business trip to keep the ring off so that they can convince an entirely clueless person in another country that they are single only to slowly let the truth be revealed over a period of years, denying it all the while… what do I sound bitter?
