Seriously, I suppose that your wife was asking if the ribbons had any kind of symbolic meaning and there's been a lot of discussion about that here before. There's some business about whether the ribbons are tied or hanging loose having to do with being married or single. Guess which is which?

There is also one I've heard more than once that says "Highlanders - tied / Lowlanders - loose".
Don't know where that came from, but on the other Big Mikey is correct.
