"Thank you. This is not the first boat I have missed. Your advice is certainly correct. However, I have been traveling around this great country of ours lately, and I have noticed the hotel valet you refer to is a somewhat endangered species once one gets away from the major-league cities. The hotels may leave a light on for you, but they're not set up to do your ironing. Personally, I am horrified by the sight of an iron, unless it's a 4-iron or shorter, but I find these days it's helpful to be able to touch up a shirt\u2014unless, as you say, you want to look like you slept in your clothes.\n\nP.S. Several readers were offended by my response in the October issue to a reader's inquiry about wearing two earrings. I wrote, \"As for dating opportunities, two hoops might afford you more opportunities than you could imagine or even desire\u2026if you get my drift,\" and I seem to have drifted into trouble. I did not mean to suggest that all of a sudden, some poor hetero reader might find he has styled himself into provoking an onslaught of predatory gays. What I meant to suggest is that two hoops look very\u2026is swinging the right word? Randy? In fact, I don't think I know any gay men who would find the two-hoop look alluring. Or any women, either. And at this point, I think earrings are probably at least as favored by heterosexual men as they are by homosexual men. The people I suspect might be attracted by two hoops are more likely to be pirates, pro wrestlers or people who are into knot tying. Weirdos. I may be a fuddy kind of duddy, but I must admit I find fetishistic gear not only unattractive but also a little repellent. I consider any piercing not confined to one earlobe one hole too many. I think too much jewelry looks affected, no matter what one's sexual preference. That goes for more than one finger ring, too. Thanks to those who wrote in: You gave me the chance to anchor any drifting ambiguity."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
