I was hoping someone would notice the reference. :D ...and yeah, us long hairs are so used to it by now, that we do just laugh it off.  Hell, if I 'm getting it from behind (you in the back, stop giggling, you know what I mean), I tend to turn around and utter a "yes, can I help you?" in the most Peter Steele voice that I can muster. You're also right about most people just wanting to be offended.  Especially, as you said, the fats.  We should round 'em all up, build some giant ovens, and shove 'em in. ...and if you're offended by my last paragraph, dear reader, then you're probably fat.
