DO IT MAN!

Doesn't really even have to be a small one or just in the left. I wear a 12 ga captive ball in each ear. Of course I've had pierced ears since before they were real popular among guys (mid 80s). And I don't care what people think of me with regard to the earrings (or anything else for that matter) unless it's got something to do with me being able to have a roof and food.

You've certainly progressed from less than two years ago when you were still thinking about going from #1 to sly.

I've also been thinking along the same lines but despite encouragement from some others on this board anf a couple of friends here I still can't take that step - and I'm 72 tomorrow.  As well as being sly for 9 years.

Go for it! Guys with pierced ears are a lot more mainstream than we used to be.
Hair is over rated.

Wife was a little surprised when I brought it up, but did not come right out and say NO.

Suggested I ask my daughters rather than surprise them.

Go for it!
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

You've got a point. I have made some significant changes in the past 2 years. If I get one, I can set the example for you, Nuts.  You need a close friend to nudge you on. Just like shaving your head, you can always take the earring out and the small hole will close over (hair will grow back).

Go for it, Mr Zed.

I really want to get one or both ears done myself. Just wondering about how it will go down at the office.
