Well, sure. How you look is the most obvious thing about
you... what's really amazing is how people will make serious
judgements... and seriously wrong judgements... about you
based on trivial things about your appearance.


Once a long time ago to fix a bad hair cut I had my hair real short,
like 1/4 " short.

A cop directing traffic called me a skinhead MF got in my face and
wanted a fight big time. He was the kind of cop I knew I could take his
gun away and beat him senceless with it. But it was the 4th of July and
I did not need a hassle, so I just ignored him. It was amazing how he
judged me just by a bad haircut.


And Dave thinks you were "making a statement" with the
length of your hair, although a statement that he thinks the
cop should agree strongly with.

Is driving with long hair... or a bad haircut... as serious
a crime as driving while black?
