It was mostly a joke when I came up with it, but the more I thought about getting quotation marks on my fingers, the more perfect it sounded. I am such an outright abuser of air quotes, and how obnoxious would it be to hook my fingers and already have the quotes be there?

So that’s where I was last Saturday, having ink hammered into my fingers.

I mentioned to Henry that the meaning was two-part, because it was also an homage to writing, at which point he said, “Don’t even try to pretend there’s meaning behind it. You’re just doing it to be an asshole.”

Oh, Henry.
