This brings back memories. Back in the 70's, before ear rings on guys became accepted, my older sister was seeing a guy with an ear ring. My dad, then a Senior Chief in the navy, showed up at an after school function to pick up my sister and a group of her friends wearing one of my mom's clip-on hoop ear rings (large and gaudy). Of course it was in his right ear so that noone outside of the car could see it. My sister was the last one in the car, all of her girlfriend saw it and were busting out. "Take that thing off!" she screamed.
His reply, "I'm just trying to be hip and run with the in crowd"
Dad!
BTW, my daughter is scared that I'll do something like this I think
