I have a friend who is an EMT. He had an unexplained odor coming from his hand no matter how many times he washed them. Turns out he had a piece of rotting flesh caught in the hollow underside of his wedding ring.
Or he was bullshitting me.

Could be BS, I wore nothing on my hands or wrists when I worked ER. I still only wear the wedding band.
Who lifts with a watch or ring on? I find this odd, friend of mine does it and just seems crazy to me.
I lift with a ring on and I do notice my callous on the palm where that finger attaches is larger than the others. Also the ring is all wonky shaped now.
But I’m not taking it off.

Wearing a watch isn’t necessarily about being able to tell time.

I wear my watch as a decoration mostly not as to tell the time since my cell has the time on it, I love Movado watches I own 6 currently and this is my latest one I bought in November

Sure, that’s one way to look at it. I wear a weeding band and a watch partially because it looks nice.

Also,if someone asks me what time it is I reply with the old “It’s time you got a watch”
my favorite watch is casio www.thebigclockstore.com
Any watch that is sold at Wal-Mart is not worth buying.
If you can’t afford a quality one, don’t wear one. Use your phone.

Or a donkey…
In my ad agency days in Japan I edited a magazine for Casio called “G-Wiz” which was all about G-Shock watches. We got to interview the designers of the original G-Shock, preview the new line of “G-Man” series and “Baby-Gs” that were just becoming popular, and a couple of us went on a photoshoot tour to New York, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong to photograph hip young people wearing G-Shocks in clubs and on the street. It was the best job I ever had there.
My watch for years during that period was the G-Shock Mudman. Wore it everywhere, and yes, it held up against mud and seawater and grime quite admirably. Love G-Shocks. I don’t wear a watch now, because, well, iPhone, but if I got another one it would be another Mudman.
Forgot to post a pic. G-Shock Mudman.

Thanks for that!
I’ve heard that joke told but am surprised they made a short film about it. Funny.
Reminds me of my old boss’ fav. joke.
A man is driving down the road and sees a farmer holding up a pig to a tree.
Confused, the man pulls closer to see what’s going on, only to see it’s and apple tree and the pig is eating the apples.
The man pulls up and asks the farmer, “Excuse me, what are you doing?”
“Feeding the pig,” the farmer replied
The man, confused, asked, “Wouldn’t it be faster to knock the apples on the ground for the pig to eat?”
The farmer, now somewhat annoyed by the ignorance, replied, “What’s time to a pig?”
