  Rings aren't good at all :) 
  Gloves can be bad too.  The sawyer/partner/owner at a local mill lost some fingers adjusting the head saw guides with gloves on.  The saw caught a bit of the loose fitting leather glove and pulled his hand in.  The paramedics dug around in the sawdust pile and recovered them but the surgeons couldn't reinstall them.

Years ago rings were bad enough, but today they are really bad. I admit I wear one and it is the "in style one for guys"; tungsten carbide. Look at ring fingers and it is a very popular style of ring. Most Fast Squads carry bolt cutters for just such occasions, but while they can easily cut gold, they cannot cut tungsten carbide!

Of course who does not remember the story of Yussif the Turk who wrestled with Strangler Lewis and won a whopping $5000...a lot of money in the 1950's. The guy insisted he be paid in gold, had it stuffed into his prize belt and refused to take it off until he got home to Europe. On his way home the ship he was on floundered, he panicked, jumped overboard towards a life raft, missed, and immediately sank to the bottom. I think his story was more about greed than tungsten-carbide versus gold, but it cost him his life.

Just this afternoon my wife snagged her ring as she was coming in the door to the house.She said to me,"Now I know why you don't wear a ring"
46 years as a carpenter and all were and will be ring less.

I would like to leave my wedding band off, but even being a logger I am not sure I could swing a big stick enough to beat off all the woman that would think I was now available.

Of course if you believe that then you believe Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox stories as well, and you certainly have not seen my triple chin, balding head, bum knee, bad back and dilapidated elbow! What my wife sees in me now I will never know!
