Gray beard is a term of respect for one's experience in my line of work.

Still have one pair of wingtips for when I need to suit up, still store them with cedar trees the rest of the time.

I got my first pair of wingtips while I was high school. I loved those shoes!

I stopped getting addressed as "bro" or "man" at drive-thrus lately. Now more often than not, it's "sir."

I ain't no "sir" yet.

Wait until you get to the "mister" phase, and have to tell everyone that's your father's name.....
