What's the deal..
Yesterday wasn't my only encounter with long fingernails -- I've seen them on other men and today I found out why. Apparently being able to have long fingernails is an indication that you are not a laborer. It is a sign of wealth and prosperity. Similarly the Chinese typically don't finish every last grain of rice to symbolize that they don't need to (convenient because finishing every last grain can be a pain when using chopsticks)
