I'm both happy and hurt: as an aging male (Silverback?), that Yoda ear hair thingy is likely to happen to me! Which means that it is likely inevitable that the wise elder appearance is my future (substance may be too much to hope for) with or without a hat. So, my impending venerability is creepy? Or should the outward signs of that 'wisdom of experience' be sacrificed to the prevailing aesthetic trimmer? There may be more to EAR sciences than imagined.
