Earrings

Idea! Why don't you go to a Patriots spring training and suggest that to the fellas? We'll see who goes home in the dress.

I consider myself to be fairly liberal but draw the line on earrings.

The stupidest thing my son ever did fashion wise was when he was on the football team and they all decided to shave their heads.

Wow. I shaved my head this morning. Looks damn good, too.

Fine. You don't have to go home in a dress. Leg warmers maybe?

 

[oldupsman]

Not at all. I simply said I don't understand why a man would wear an earring. Could you tell me why?

Real men pierce their scrotums.

How bout this when you agree to work for a
Company that has a dress code they get to tell you how to dress end of story if you don't like it quit.

I just came back from a year off on disability and my center has a new manager. She has been getting on my case about my earrings. I have had past managers tell me to take them out and I've always managed to argue my way into keeping them by referring to the appearance guidelines that state both men and women are allowed to have a piercing in each earlobe no larger than 1/2 an inch. She seems intent on ignoring this fact and keeps telling me I have to take them out and she is going to "look into it". Does anyone have any experience in this subject or advice? Thanks.

Men don't wear earring... Problem solved...

You should have thought about what would happen when you had to take the plugs out when you decided to get them did you think that the hole are just going close up in a couple of months... You are going to have those holes for the rest of you life unless you have them surgically repaired..... Did you think about that....

I'll pass on the leg warmers.

Speaking of the kids---it has been a year since my daughter's wedding. I sent them a check for $100 so they could go out and have a nice dinner.

LOL, we took them out yesterday for Chinese. Spent about $55! First time "Whats his names" been here since we moved in 10 months ago. They do work a LOT, and I'm proud of them for that!

That works. But earing or not isn't the measure of a "real man".

Ask Bruce Jenner.

It might have been stupid but atleast his hair grew back. 1/2 hole don't close up on there own....

Not if you tell several members of the New England Patriots that they are a bunch of girly-boys because of their $25000 stud earings.

The OP should be glad the center manager doesn't make him take out his Prince Albert.

 

[bbsam]

Ask Bruce Jenner.

Or Deion Sanders.

Being a member of a big time sports team is not the measure of a real man either....

It's a sad state of affairs when she has no problem naming 10 men who wear earrings but has yet to compile your list of 10 politicians.

True. But I thought folks here were trying to suggest that an earing somehow made men effeninate but I kinda don't think they would make that assertion to many of the men wearing them. Something about lacking the courage of their convictions...or maybe they simply hadn't thought the whole thing through.

She is in a sad state...in every possible way.
