Great comeback, man. Keep thinkin' on your feet!
As to Black James: Man, I don't know what it is, but it has ALWAYS gotten my feathers a little ruffled when people ask me why I make any style choices. Why do you THINK I shaved my head? Because I wanted to? Why do you THINK I have a beard? I don't know why YOU do what you do, but I do what I want. Usually when someone asks me why I DID something I turn it around and ask them why the DIDN'T. It usually makes the point and shows it's kind of a rude question.
