I sometimes wear a plain (silver) band on a chain around my neck when there's some bad habit or attitude in my life that I know I have to get rid of. But for me, it's kind of a Lenten thing, and the idea is to get RID of it; March 25 is the goal.
The last time I did that, I really wanted to find someplace to toss it into and melt it down. I never did though. I daydreamed about Mount St Helen's but they don't let you get close enough.
Besides, if I should prove unable to toss the thing, I'd hate to have my finger bitten off. The analogy does break down a little too easily.
