Q: What's the deal with chinese guys and long fingernails?
Always wondered this...
Usually it's the pinky finger.
As I understand it, it used to be something the office workers, bureaucrats, eunuchs etc would do to show everyone they didn't work in the field and were therefore of a higher class.
Now, from what I've seen the guys who do that seem to have only recently got off the farm and want to prove it by growing long revolting looking fingernails.
Also, they're just the thing for picking your nose.

Yeah that's my thought too.
People who feel they need to prove they aren't farmers/box movers and who don't notice that others dont feel the need.

I was told cleaning your ear... I don't really know though
Makes it easier to scoop a bump of Ketamine out of the bag during wild KTV night.

I occasionally use Ketamine... can be really good for some conditions when the other meds aren't doing their job well enough! Though the gastric side-effects are really frikken annoying :(
WooMow:
Mine too, but apparently K and speed are the drugs of choice for those so-inclined in China. No import tax haha
