That may have meant something out west. I have no idea, and I couldn't care less. But here in New York? Back in the '60s and '70s, when I was growing up?

If a pinky ring made a wiseguy a queer, then ninety percent of them were taking it up the ass. Because over here it was a status symbol to these guys, like driving a Caddy or wearing Brioni. Fact.
