Spanishfly asks: Ever injured yourself in a moment of frustration? When have you ever done something stupid or sensible that has ended up with you injured? Punched an Asda sign because they didn't have tiger bread? Yeah, us too
This isn't a question about intentional self-harm

I have heard that you wear your* wedding ring on the third finger because it's connected directly to your heart. Not too much of a surprise really since I guess every bit of you is connected to your heart but I can verify that there is a nice little artery running down the inside of your ring finger...
Many moons ago in a chemistry lab far away a young Ugi was washing a chromatography column - essentially a pyrex tube about 2 feet long and an inch or two wide with a tap on the bottom. And it slipped. And being the lightning-reflexed youth that I was I caught it. Only I caught it a fraction of a second after the bottom end hit the sink.
So suddenly I am holding on to a massive hand-full of bits of pointy glass where my lovely column was but moments before. Amazingly it cut me with only one tiny piece - a shard went into the inside of my then-bare ring finger sending truly impressing squirts of crimson Uginess into the air with every heartbeat!
It stopped quickly and healed well but for a few moments I made a truly impressive human fountain from a cut only half an inch long - and the side of that finger felt cold for years after.
*not you you - I mean "one" only it sounds just too ridiculous to actually put in writing

... but you expressly used the word 'you', when you should've used 'one'!
(edit: on reflection, I did like the word Uginess, so I have decided to click after all)

you took the OP to be addressing you.
Therefore he was correct.
/out-pedanting.

The "your" may be replaced with an "a" and would have nothing to do with the one, ones, your and yours argument.
Shove that up your underwhelming pedantry.

He's ninja'd it to ratshit, supposedly to explain what he first wrote. Unfortunately that makes our comments look even more stupider than what they was already.
Or maybe he's a timelord.

wore off I would see that I was wrong. Alas, there is no ninja edit and that the asterix remains on the word "yours" not "your" as described in the sub text. I like to blame medication but alas etc. etc. on this occasi. . . yawn

self-referential. In addition I think the use of Young Ugi is pretentious.

Your intended meaning was unclear, at best. The appropriate and correct use of quotation marks would, in future comments, assist in adding clarity.
You tiny bender.
