why men wear earrings

Did you ever wonder why earrings became so popular with men?

A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing
an earring.

The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and
is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense"

The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into
earrings."

"Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies
sheepishly.

His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods
him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"

"Ever since my wife found it in my car."

(I always wondered how this trend got started)

Brilliant

Found this on the net

Earrings were also worn by Pirates for superstitious reasons. Some pirates were convinced that wearing an earring would improve or even cure bad eyesight, as they believed that the precious metals in an earring possessed magical healing powers. Another tale was that pierced ears would prevent seasickness.

I dont care if it isnt true, Johnny Depp looks good with one

I thought pirates wore earrings as ballast d'équilibre during storms and the frequent piss-up.

Re: why men wear earrings

I always thought it was a gypsy thing, when a guy is sought of engaged a ring was put in one ear, and when he was married the other ear was pierced.
I have thought that for over 70 years.

Oh dear, doesn't sound too good for me, a 51 year old bricklayer with a number one haircut and diamond stud.


best not mention the tattoos, not quite the romantic pirate type
