Which one is your ring finger? (Annulus pronubis)

[Bbbananas]

My Best Friend's Wedding is looming, so all this wedding talk has brought forward lots of bizarre talking points for us; we are strange in that respect. Lots of naff & lavatorial jokes have thus ensued.

Apparently in western cultures the ring finger is normally on the left because the vein in that finger is the vena amoris - directly connected to the heart. Some countries have the wedding band on the right finger; some even wear the engagement ring on the left & the wedding ring on the right.

I could go on to say what happens in Jewish and Indian traditions, but I won't because I'm bored now. I just wanted to play on the words annus probus. Sorry.

I use a finger on my right hand for my ring.

[Bbbananas]

do you know somehow JJ - I thought you might!!

Personally, I swap around.

[joggerjayne]

Uh ohh !!

Jayne and Salla on the same thread ... ?


This can only go badly ! ... There will be dungeons, whips, bannings ... all sorts of stuff.

LOL

[Bbbananas]

Jayne - we haven't done this for quite a while now. I just got the urge...

[afcjan]

well I now dont have a wedding ring, having thrown it at hubby many years ago and losing it never to find it again, and he never offered to buy me another one either.

[logic]

I have been in situations where I have had to use all four fingers,

[Bbbananas]

that's right guys - lower the tone...!

[Bbbananas]

Zac, I have come up with a perfectly legitimate question about wedding rings - how is that lowering any tones, it's a national institution is marriage, and a very serious subject ;-)

[mccfluff]

i have two rings and use two fingers

[rinkins]

What about two rings and one finger?!?!

[logic]

Ah, the dumb glutton never ceases to intrigue me, :--)

[Bbbananas]

A little bit of intrigue makes life a little more interesting.

[mccfluff]

it would work rinkins, i think that has long been a tried and tested method

"Apparently in western cultures the ring finger is normally on the left because the vein in that finger is the vena amoris - directly connected to the heart."

JJ's right ring finger vein apart...........where is the right ring finger of everyone else's connected to?

confused of Menorca

[sqad617]

right rin g finger VEIN I meant......hand was shaking at the thought of JJ and salla, that I missed out the word VEIN.

[joggerjayne]

Typical ...

Just as a jolly thread gets going, I have a "proper" email arrive on my work lappy, and I had to go.

Work does get in the way of AB sometimes.

Tuts!

[LoftyLottie2]

afcjan. I had to laugh. The same happened to my ring about 20 years ago. Mind you, I wouldn't want a replacement, I'm not a fan of wedding rings, engagement rings etc. I still have the same Mr LL though, bless him.
