There’s always that one wedding picture with the newly ringed hands atop the bouquet, so I decided to scedule a manicure. The first shop I called thought I was joking and hung up. The second, however, was run by an older woman who had worked at the Palmer House in Chicago during the ‘30s, where she had manicured many of its more prominent businessmen before they were caught for tax evasion or shot outside theaters, and was on record promoting men’s manicures for a more professional look (more recently, a theater buddy of mine was in a radio spot for a Cheyenne shop, discussing that same idea over a poker game).
Came the day, and the shot, the photographer said, “The bride’s hands are always better looking, so we’ll put hers on top”. I ended up with half a pinkie nail showing – 50 cents’ worth. But they all still looked good for a successful job interview about a week later.

Which raises the question, Mr. Pinecone… why do you keep hanging around her?
