WL: If I sold my Magic cards, I would only get $100—not really the greatest ring.
me: … So geeky, but sooooooo cute!
WL: That’s cute?
me: Yes! It’s so sweet! He sold his hobby to buy his woman a ring!
WL: “Nerdy” sure is in this year.
me: What would you sell for your woman? I’d sell my soul, but that wouldn’t be worth enough.
WL: You don’t buy the rings, silly.
me: What? Do you steal them? Make them? Go to Mordor and stop Frodo?
WL: The girl does not buy the ring…
me: OH!
WL: … Is what I meant.

me: Why can’t I propose? So traditional of you.
WL: You can… Weirdo.
me: I have a feeling that I’d do the proposing.
WL: Ask him to give you his penis.
me: And put a cock ring on it?
