I remember when I first got with my ex-wife and we were dating was when I'd first heard the word "cuticle" (which I thought she was saying "cubicle", but that's another story of itself).
So, she lifted my hands and said "You could use some work on your cuticles." I just kind of laughed it off at the time, but later that night I went home and I was looking at them and I thought to myself "Hmmm, you know? I COULD do this. This is pretty simple and she might like it."
So, I went to work on them. I didn't have a file or anything, I just used my fingernails and my teeth, and like 2 grueling hours later I was done...and my fingers were a bloody mess.
I showed them to her the next day and she gasped at first and asked me what happened and I told her and she burst into laughter like ten minutes and made fun of me for weeks, showing everybody we came into contact with what I had done.
No more cuticle work for me, thanks.
