And, most importantly, use of Ring with other parts of your body is at your own risk. Please note Ring adjusts fully to size only when inserting it.

Gratyn → I guess I did. But then, these user's manuals are so full of misprints…

I think you wanted to write "hole C" in the "use" paragraph ? Didn't you ?

Dear Sir,
thank goodness, the power of your ring does not extend to your blog,which is still perfectly visible.
I wonder if dear old Gyges heeded the warnings…

Although I confess to being totally ignorant of the universe (Tolkien ?)alluded to in the user's manual ,I really enjoyed
the spoof (probably even funnier to those in the know).

Thanking you for your fragment,I remain
Yours faithfully,
A.Smith.

Comments will not appear until they have been reviewed by the moderator.

Deleting comments is not supported. Please think before you post.

HTML is not allowed in content or elsewhere (writing <foo> simply produces <foo> in the text).

To cite a URL, write <URL: http://somewhere.tld/ >, and it will be automatically made into a link. (Do not try any other way or it might count as an attempt to spam.)

Your email address will not appear to other readers. Use it if you wish to leave me (the moderator) a way of contacting you.

To leave a contact address for all readers, use the Web site address field (it can be a mailto: URI, e.g. mailto:my.email@somewhere.tld, if you do not have a genuine Web site).

You can use an optional (semi-secret) “identifier phrase” of your choice to avoid identity stealing: it will not appear except to the moderator, who can use it to detect obvious usurpations. Don't rely seriously on this, however.

Use the last field to enter any other kind of comments for the moderator's eyes only.
