LIFSOS Top Ten List: Inappropriate Things to Have Engraved On An Engagement Ring
Dear readers, if you've checked out my last post, you'll be aware that on Christmas I announced my intention to make an honest woman of GF, who is therefore now F. for "fiancee."
This means, of course, the acquisition of an engagement ring at some point. And such a ring must be engraved with the appropriate inscription.
After staggering home from Maine, F. and I got into a lighthearted discussion about what totally inappropriate inscriptions a fellow might get engraved on an engagement ring for his gal. So I decided to do a David Letterman-style top-ten list on this theme.
(I've limited myself to twenty characters--including spaces--which I presume would be standard.)
So, without further ado . . .
Inappropriate Things to Have Engraved On An Engagement Ring
10. Now make Hot Pockets
9. Pimps up, Hos down
8. [Anything in Elvish referring to the binding qualities of the ring.]
7. Pre-nups rule!
6. Back that azz up
5. Ephesians 5:22
[The Bible verse in which St. Paul says, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord."]
4. Your mom is hot too
3. HMWAJLTP?
[OK, an acronym is probably cheating, but I couldn't resist this one. It stands for "How Much Would a Job Like That Pay?" Some LIFSOS readers will grasp the significance.]
2. ILUVU Let’s Go Mets!
And the Number One Most Inappropriate Thing to Have Engraved On An Engagement Ring . . .
1. You Won
I was always partial to "put it back on."
Congrats again.

I would vote for "Moo." In reference to the "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free."
