Gay?

[emmaemmaemma]

I heard that men who wear earrings in a certain ear are gay, but i cant remember which ear it is? Left or right?

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, its usually the right ear.(but only if they dont have one on their left ear). An easier way to find out if someone is gay emma, is to ask them if they want sex with you...

Originally a gold earring was worn by a seaman so that it could be sold to pay for his funeral should he be drowned and his body washed up on the beach.
I believe that an earring was worn by commandoes during the war, so that if one of his own sneaked up behind him and put an arm round his throat before using his knife he could feel the earring in his right ear and know it was one of his own men. But, that is only hearsay. The seaman bit is fact.

Well that's very interesting! That'll bring a bit of history into my halloweening! I always wondered why they only wore one earring! Thanks.

The earring was worn by seamen but it go's back to ancient Greece. The earing carried a coin and should the sailor die at sea, he could pay the ferryman to take him over the River Styx to Hades therefore saving his soul from torment.
