   what is the significance of the naked index finger of the right hand.
   (if you don’t know, quick, make up some good pshat.)

   Well, I could say that the struggle for tzedek is the forever unfinished cause and the index finger full of nothing symbolizes that; but the real reason is that tzedek is only three letters. I was hoping to get something on the index finger too, but didn’t want to put something there just for the sake of symmetry. If I come up with or see something that speaks to me, I’ll add it then. About that, suggestions be welcome.

   Me. You should tattoo me on your right index finger (coincidentally the trigger finger) That way your one fist will be RAY JUSTICE. You know you want to, and besides, the latest incarnation of my beard looks WAAAAAY better than Poppa Smurfs.

   Ray, you’ve got a beard?
   Another thought that came to mind was that medieval Jewish wedding rings, worn by the bride on the right forefinger (sorry, I happen to speak Brit), often displayed a house.

   Usually I try to skirt the line between ‘ruggedly handsome’ and ‘dirtbag’ but lately i’ve just been rocking the unabomber look.

   I prefer bearded over clean-shaven looks, but how come you use a provocative term to liken your facial hair to?

   If it would allow me to shoot out a justice ray with my hands I’d do it.

   JJ, Ray Justice: http://www.kimberamerica.com/pistols/custom/
   (If you consider a half ounce of burning lead moving at about 700 MPH or so a ray that is)

   Sarah, which term did you find provacative, and in what sense or the word? I’ve spent 99% of the last 15 years not clean shaven. hi.

    Ray, you’ve got 1.7 guesses as to what term I found provocative. Use them wisely.

    I shaved thismorning. All three terms that various friends have used to describe my terribad beard are now null and void.
    Can I save my guesses for a later date?
12. Sarah says:

    Sure can; guesses I issue never expire.
13. Ray says:

    Do they accumulate interest?

    Depending on the amount of guesses you’d like, I think we can work out some plan.
