I like to sail, and always wanted to "round the Horn" of South America. Figure if I ever do I will get my left ear pierced to mark the occasion, even though I am a straight laced type of guy.

I do have one tattoo on my upper arm from my younger, stupider days. Last year I got a flu shot and the nurse sees the tattoo as I roll up my sleeve and cheerfully asks, "hey, what's that?" I replied, "a mistake."

I have been considering having it covered with something less dorky, but some mistakes we just have to live with.

I have a 32CC Oday at Kemah. Life is good.



"I'll give up my earring when they pry it from my cold, dead head!"

I tend to care more about how the ladies around me look, not the men...

ROFL!!!

Almost two years ago I took out my earring because I was having surgery, and I just have never put it back in again.

The other day i was giving a co worker a hard time about the HUGE dangly earrings she was wearing that hit her in the chin every time she turned her head, and she took one out and offered it to me, in jest, saying I should try it on and see how it wasn't that much of a bother.

Imagine her shock when I actually did put it on. From later conversation, since she didn't know me before the surgery and the hole is well camouflaged by a crease in my earlobe, she hadn't realized that I had a pierced ear, so she was very surprised when I actually was able to wear it.

Any more?

It's easier to remove an earring than erase a tattoo.

Then there is the joke about the little boy that ran screaming and crying from grandma when she tried to hug him.

It was the first time he saw the eagle tat she got on her bosom when she was young.

It had turned a vulture.

At one time, I had 6 earrings (four in one ear, 2 in the other) as well as my belly button pierced and tattoos. I don't wear the earrings anymore, and haven't for about 10 years, just because it became inconvenient. To all public appearance, I'm a pretty straight laced, middle aged, bald white dude. None of these factors make up who I am as a human being any more than does my preference for Beretta over Smith and Wesson or Walther over Taurus.
