You Know You Are Old When

I would bet your father and/or grandfather wouldn't understand why you would let it grow long enough to have a pony tail... and probably wanted to take a pair of scissors to cut it off.

George Washington sported a ponytail, as did many of our founders.

So what's your point? Fads change with time, what was old is now new again.
Every generation does something a bit different; while their elders mock them.
Short hair was in vogue during the 40s and 50s
By the 60s and 70s long hair was a sign of rebellion, while the wearer's elders mocked them, just as people do the hairstyles of today's generation among other things. (Tattoos...)
"Man buns" were worn by Egyptian pharoahs and Japanese Samurais... now the style is coming around again.

Intolerance is the biggest challenge this nation faces.

Except skinny jeans on men. That should never be tolerated, in any time or place.

Just was making the same points you did. That hair fashions come and go.

Also speedo suits, as long as we are on the subject of things which should never be tolerated.

Never said those vehicles were better, just that I liked the floor vents.

Never said you ever said that never did you ever say that never...?
Just so many people do say that and we're mostly older here, not everyone here, but lots of the guys, maybe some women too although they would never admit it ever...
