How to fix a Bad Day

This probably wouldn't have worked in your case, but Windex glass cleaner makes it easier to get a tight ring off. It has silicone, which serves as a lubricant.

I'm also a ring off while working guy....especially since mine is made of tungsten carbide...

At least I'm not the only one. I'd have better luck cutting the finger off if that thing ever got stuck or crushed.

Actually carbide rings are a little safer than gold ones. Carbide will just shatter if it's deformed in any way so crushing no longer presents a hazard. However, pitting either material against flesh for cutting, dislocating or degloving a finger, both carbide and gold are about equal. It's like arguing if a metal butter knife or a plastic butter knife cut warm butter better; the butter doesn't stand a chance either way.

Having cut myself with both kinds of butter knife , Your right , it doesn't make any difference they both cut. BTW, my ring was sterling silver,
seems to bend/crush quite easily.Wife told me it happened cause I was flirt with the old women,and with her German temper I've decided to
agree with her and stop flirting,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yeah right,

Oh, I know my finger is screwed either way. I meant having to cut that bugger off vs gold to save a finger as in Lost Mason's case.

Dang, that reminds me of a time when I was working nights at a video game arcade while in grad school. I noticed a co-worker's finger was swollen and pale from a too-tight wedding ring. He was a slow fellow and didn't understand the urgency of getting the ring off. After much teaching him about the human circulatory system, he promised that he would see about it the next day, and he did. He had to have it removed; it was too swollen to slide off.
