These trendy nose rings --- purposeful or only ornamentation?
If the rings keep them from rooting under the fence and getting out on the highway, I guess that's pretty useful.

My thoughts exactly. Mrs Greener and I were watching some singing show and the singer had a nose ring. My first thought was, well they won't have trouble with her rooting up the vegetable garden. Don't remember anything about the song she was singing though.

As a child I wondered why they needed something to be snubbed to a post.

I won't knock people wearing them, earrings and for that matter tattoos have no purpose but are well accepted.

Personally I think all that piercing crap is just that...crap. Then there's the pseudo stuff like the nose rings. Just as stupid in my book.

I must have been born an old man on this issue, but at 47 I think that shit is dumb and have since I was aware of the unfortunate trend 25 years ago.

Well, once you've gotten all the tats you can stand, and you are still dissatisfied with your own sorry ass, what else are you going to do?

They’re a great way to attach the leash or tie them to the hitching post while you go for a drink

If you are single and look at a dating app you will see tons of women tatted up and with nose rings. So despite any natural unattractiveness they might have, along with acquired unattractiveness (obesity), they are active making themselves even more unattractive with the piggy nose rings and the tats. Seriously, middle aged women have lost their minds in an effort to pretend to be young and relevant.

I will never understand why anyone would mutilate themselves with piercings and tattoos.
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints

You mean it's not a hitch to attach a leader rope?

Tattoos lie flat in the skin; piercings provide handles that can be pulled out forcibly to inflict injury. Big difference. I think it foolish in the extreme to provide new ways one can be hurt.

I walked into a fast food restaurant and the girl taking orders had a ring in her nose, one in her eyebrow, one in her lip and a couple in her ears.
I said, "Been Fishing?" She didn't think that was funny.

I don't mind nose rings, except the ones that look like a bedazzled Hitler moustache, because they look like a fucking bedazzled Hitler moustache.
