I'm thinking maybe if I removed a couple of joints on my fingers down to the second knuckle, it would show how much of an unconventional person I am.

SO VERY VERY NOT WORK SAFE

[Love At First Bite]

A story that appeared in BME about a couple (Clive and Gillian) who expressed their love by amputating (and biting off) each others finger from the first knuckle.

CLIVE:
If you love someone, you want to give something of yourself to them. I don’t think people take that seriously enough, I mean, they say it, but it’s just words... I wanted to show Gillian that I really meant it and it wasn’t just something I’d read on a Hallmark card. Go big or go home you know?

BME:
Why not just give her a promise ring or something?

GILLIAN:
I’m not dating a ring, and I don’t want a ring. I’m dating flesh, and I want flesh to make a commitment to me. What good is a ring to me? It doesn’t really mean anything. I’ve been engaged before — and look where that took me: Nowhere. I wanted this time to be different. Plus, he’s been previously married, and I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a repeat of that relationship. I told him if he was serious about this, he had to prove it — and that I was willing to do the same.
