Yes, pinky swears are a
lighthearted agreement rarely enforced, but we all know that there
exists a code with the intention of not being broken. Because in
this sue happy world of painful litigation, if we don’t respect the
sanctimony of a real deal, then why agree to it in the first
place?
Locking pinkies is a silly way to execute blood brotherhood without the pricks. And I’m not referring to the kind of pricks who purposefully cut you off in traffic, but the kind you make on your finger by poking it with a needle to draw a drop of blood. I’ve seen blood bonding in movies where two warriors will cement an agreement by slicing a line in their arm before the compulsory forearm broshake, then sealing the bond by wrapping a leather strap.
The man love is palpable. In fact, you think they might rub
beards.
Either way, the hand is the tool that secures alliances, and the
inconspicuous pinky can be the secret weapon of assurance. Sure,
most pinky swears aren’t taken seriously, but if we create a
legally binding understanding that once a pinky swear is
consummated there is no way to overturn it without going to hell,
or some shit like that, they can be enforceable. It needs to matter
more. Along with saving polar bears.
This is good.
Because even though the pinky is the runt of the litter, it has the
plenty of potential. Your ring finger is cool but is basically
employed for the purpose of identifying the symbol for a ball and
chain called the wedding ring. The middle finger, well, that’s a no
brainer—very useful indeed. The index finger is essential for
booger harvesting and pointing at cool shit, which is of great
importance. But the pinky has been underrated.
Therefore, as unlikely as it is that it will work out, sometimes
you’ve just got to see how it goes because it’s the best option
available.
Kind of like when you’re out of weed, but you’ve got a dirty pipe
with a bunch of resin collected in it.
