I agree, but also, if you can't afford a cheap ass ring, you probably can't afford a pet. It doesn't need to be something fancy. If you care about that tradition (not implying the person in the image does), you can get rings pretty cheap if you don't need the whole diamond thing, and even cheaper if you're willing to buy second-hand.

Surely a second hand wedding ring must be cursed or something right? Why was it available in the first place? Did they die? Get divorced? Lose their hands and or fingers in some fetish play gone horribly wrong?

Better to just avoid the whole situation and get a cat.

Huh. I don’t think I’ve seen a band where the drummer was the singer before.

That's very close to what my wife said when I sent the same link to her.

On the internet, nobody knows that you’re ~~a dog~~ their wife. (Joking. Or am I? :P)

Some people would probably pay extra for that last one.
