RingsI received an interesting request via email yesterday that involves all of you, my dear faithful readers.

I don’t want to give away too many details that might let the cat out of the bag, but I do want to pose the following question to all of you:

“How can someone surreptitiously obtain the ring size of a person who does not normally wear jewelry? Asking them to try on one of your own rings will only make them suspicious.”

I have two suggestions:

The easiest: Make a guess based on your own finger size, buy the ring and have it resized later if necessary.

A bit more difficult: Quietly and carefully wrap a piece of string around the proper finger while the subject is sleeping. Mark the string where the end meets and take it to the jeweler. They can determine the size from that.

Do any of you have any other suggestions? Post them in comments.

My suggestion is to make a guess at the size. In my situation, it was the choosing of a ring; and, with the help of the jeweler, the exact choice was made

Steal another ring to make sure the size is right.

Suck on their finger (it has to go all the way into your mouth obviously, like giving a blow job to their ring finger) and then take it out keeping your lips at finger size… Measure the size from the round form your lips are in…

Easy peasy!

Heh… good suggestions so far.

Dutchy - I can see so many ways that could go wrong. Though I know this particular person is pretty adept at making that shape with their mouth.

I had another idea - playfully trace the hand in question, as though you were going to make a kid’s drawing of a turkey… if you have the width of the finger you can figure out the size.

tracing someone’s hand is going to be a good bit larger than the actual hand.

I actually had Dutchbitch’s same idea. Filthy minds think alike.

Tell him you saw a documentary about the person with the bigger ring size is usually the more intelligent member of the relationship. Then get him to try on one of your rings to see if it is around your size.

Then suck on his finger just for the hell of it.

These are all too funny for me to even begin…

In highschool my BFF and I heard that the middle finger and index finger, when placed side by side, indicate the width of a man’s penis. Alter this urban myth, insert the need to actually measure the finger and go from there. If the ring is for a girl, tell her that IF YOU WERE A MAN this would be your penis size. That’s what we did just for fun. Turns out I would much better endowed than my extremely small framed best friend.

Liz - Uh… that measurement isn’t even close. I have to add another finger. :)

Don’t worry, Jester. Most men do have to add another finger at some time or another.

Liz - I thought that was only after the woman got older… of course I’m not an expert on the subject.
