Headgear Is For Wussies

I'm all better now, hearing is back to normal. No more ringing.

Castigated by a doctor, a friend and a relative. Not taking good enough care. Went out one ear, goes out the other. Totally intended pun.

I have a headgear which should provide protection if scant to any more head trauma. However, the problem is I don't like wearing it. Reasons to my very disjointed, far from watertight, and nonsensical argument are as follows;

Without the headgear.

With the headgear.

The reason I have a headgear in the first place is because I played two seasons of rugby with long hair. I found that if I wore a headgear there is less occurrence of opponent tugging at my ponytail although it did happen. Short hair, no problem.

It's hard to hear with that thing on your head. If you don't hear the play call, your captain will then kick your ass. When your opponent taunts you and you don't taunt back, where's the fun?

And if, IF, a big hypothetical IF. If the ladies are cheering my name and I can't hear it, I would be kicking myself in the nuts afterwards. Although I'm pretty sure it hasn't happened yet, there is no harm in keeping your ears peeled.

Besides, I'm getting enough trouble already with girls even without the headgear on. Wearing the hideous contraption only exacerbates the situation.

Hence, say no to headgear.
