I can just hear the Aliens now, “ These beings hang and pierce bits of plastic and metal on all parts of their bodies…and don’t get me started about what they do to their genitalia !
My friend and I went to my doctor to get our ears pierced. As he stood poised with his little piercer (looked more like a hole punch than a gun) he said “are you sure you want to mutilate yourselves like this?” Wow! Of course we did!
My grandmother believed there was a law in the US that said all women had to get their ears pierced. She was shocked when we explained to her that there was no such thing.
I worked for a jewelry store and we did it with a metal punch gun…was so much easier than the needle. Though I was lucky as my neighbor was a nurse and she numbed my ear with a spray and use a needle to do mine and immediately put the 14 caret round earrings in my ears. Then had to turn them a lot and clean with alcohol.
Every Sunday my cheapo paper cuts the title and second panels, so I didn’t see the hilarious Earl comment until I came to GoComics to read the comments. Does anyone else’s Sunday paper do that? Thank you, Minneapolis Star Tribune – not!

Dad’s 93 now, but as a kid he had one ear pierced, at least temporarily. They lived at a place that raised ocelots.

According to the doctor and Forensic Files, there would be little to no powder residue.

I figure doing anything to myself that would be considered assault if done by someone else is not something I should do.
